Question

Whats the percent for 3.2?
​

Answer 1

0.0032 is percentage for 3.2

Answer 2

3.2% or
`3125\%` of 3.2

Explanation:

Solution for 100 is what percent of 3.2:

100:3.2*100 =

(100*100):3.2 =

10000:3.2 = 3125

Now we have: 100 is what percent of 3.2 = 3125

Step 1: We assume that 3.2 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
`$100\%=3.2$`

Step 4: In the same vein,
`$x\%=100$`.

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

`100\%=3.2(1).`

`x\%=100(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

`(100\%)/(x\%)=(3.2)/(100)`

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

`(x\%)/(100\%)=(100)/(3.2)`

`\Rightarrow x=3125\%`

Therefore, 100 is
`3125\%` of 3.2.
