We set up a proportion: 64/?= 32/100

Cross multiply: 32*?= 64*100
⇒ ?= 64*100/32= 200

The number is 200.

If you would like to solve 32% of a number is 64, you can calculate this using the following steps:

32% of a number is 64
32% * x = 64
32/100 * x = 64 /*100/32
x = 64 * 100 / 32
x = 200

Result: 32% of 200 is 64.
