If you would like to know how much of the damages will the insurance company have to pay, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $32000 is $25000

x% * 32000 = 25000

x/100 * 32000 = 25000

x * 320 = 25000

x = 25000 / 320

x = 78.125%

The insurance company will have to pay 78.125% of the damages.
