32.89 is what percent of 219.27 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 219.27 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 219.27, so we can write it down as 100%=219.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=219.27
2) x%=32.89
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=219.27/32.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.89 is what percent of 219.27

100%/x%=219.27/32.89
(100/x)*x=(219.27/32.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6667680145941*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6667680145941) to get x
100/6.6667680145941=x
14.99977197063=x
x=14.99977197063

now we have:
