What percent of 50 is 32?

Answer: 64%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 50 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100/%=50$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x/%=32$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100/%=50 (1) $.

$x/%=32 (2) $.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$/frac{100/%}{x/%}=/frac{50}{32}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$/frac{x/%}{100/%}=/frac{32}{50}$

$/Rightarrow x=64/%$

Therefore, $32$ is $64/%$ of $50$.

64

Step-by-step explanation:

32 / 50 =.64

.64 * 100 = 64%
