4.32 is what percent of 126.82 - 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 126.82 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 126.82, so we can write it down as 100%=126.82.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=126.82
2) x%=4.32
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%=126.82/4.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.32 is what percent of 126.82

100%/x%=126.82/4.32
(100/x)*x=(126.82/4.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.356481481481*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.356481481481) to get x
100/29.356481481481=x
3.4064027755874=x
x=3.4064027755874

now we have:
4.32 is 3.4064027755874% of 126.82
