What is 7.75 percent of 32.99 - 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 32.99 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 32.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 32.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32.99=100%
2) x=7.75%
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:
32.99/x=100%/7.75%
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 7.75% of 32.99

32.99/x=100/7.75
(32.99/x)*x=(100/7.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32.99=12.903225806452*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.903225806452) to get x
32.99/12.903225806452=x
2.556725=x
x=2.556725

now we have:
7.75% of 32.99=2.556725
