What is 46.87 percent of 32 - 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 32 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 32 is 100%, so we can write it down as 32=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46.87% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46.87%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32=100%
2) x=46.87%
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:
32/x=100%/46.87%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 46.87% of 32

32/x=100/46.87
(32/x)*x=(100/46.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32=2.1335609131641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1335609131641) to get x
32/2.1335609131641=x
14.9984=x
x=14.9984

now we have:
46.87% of 32=14.9984
