Let 32% of x = 56
32%*x = 56
32/100 *x = 56
x = 56*100/32
x = 5600/32 = 175
hence, 32% of 175 is 56.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
Speed of the boat = u
speed of the current = v
In downstream,
u - v = 280/7
u - v = 40
In upstream,
u + v = 280/14
u + v = 20
Add both equations
2u = 60
u = 30
v = -10
Speed of the boat = 30 km/h
