We suggest, that the number 32 is 100% - because it is the output value of the task. <span>We suggest, that x is the value that we are looking for. </span> <span>3. If 32 is 100%, so we can jot it down as 32=100%. </span> <span>4. We know for sure, that x is 15% of the output value, so we can jot it down as x=15%. </span> 5. Now, these are the equations are we have. 1) 32=100% 2) x=15% where the 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: 32/x=100%/15% 6. Now we just have to work out the equation, and we'll get the answer that we want.
7. Answer for what is 15% of 32
32/x=100/15 <span>(32/x)*x=(100/15)*x - </span>multiply both sides of the equation by x <span>32=6.66666666667*x - </span>divide both sides of the equation by (6.66666666667) to get x <span>32/6.66666666667=x </span> <span>4.8=x </span> x=4.8
<span>15% of 32=4.8 So, the answer is $4.8 Hope this helped</span>
