Answer:

96

Explanation:

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 300 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 300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 300=100%.

4. We know, that x is 32% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=32%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 300=100%

2) x=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:

300/x=100%/32%

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 32% of 300

300/x=100/32

(300/x)*x=(100/32)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

300=3.125*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.125) to get x

300/3.125=x

96=x

x=96

now we have:

32% of 300=96
