32 is 14% of what? How do I work this problem?

Question

And this one I need to solve for x
x:2=3:7
x/2=3/7
2(y/2)= 2(3/7)= 6/7 or .857....
Is this the correct way to do it? Thank you

Answer 1

x=32(100)/14

Answer 2

32 = 14%
32/14 = 14/14 %
2∙285 714 4286.. = 1 %
But a full unit is 100%.
2∙285 714 4286..x100 = 1x100 %
228∙5 714 4286.. = 100 %

So 32 is 14% of 228∙571..

x : 2 = 3 : 7
x / 2 = 3 / 7
x = 3*2 / 7
x = 6 / 7 Yes.

Answer 3

448

Proof:

32 x 14 = 448

448 divided by 32 = 14

448 divided by 14 = 32

Answer 4

For the first one, you should set the problem up like this:

32 = .14x

Whenever you see the word "of" in math, it means to multiply.

Now, divide both sides by .14 to get the x by itself.

32/.14 = x
x =228.5714286

If you multiply x by .14, you should get 32.

228.5714286(.14) = 32

For the second problem, you did it the right way and came up with the same answer I did.

Answer 5

32 = .14 X. Solve for X.

Divide both sides by .14 to isolate X. You get X = 229 (after rounding up)

Answer 6

just think percent over 100 equals is over of. Like this:
%/100 = IS/OF
So
14/100 = 32/X

so you would do 32X100 which equals 3200 and then divide it by 14 so the answer is
X=229 rounded to the nearest one

Answer 7

1) 32/0.14=228.57...
2) x=3/7*2
3) x=3/7*2
4) yes

Answer 8

for the what is, use a porportion.

32/x=14/100

Answer 9

32/14 = x/100
x = 100 * 32/14
x = 3200 / 14
x = 228.57142857143

Answer 10

On the first problem, translate word for word:

32 is 14% of what
v....v....v...v...v
32 = 0.14 * x

Solve for x.

Whenever you tackle a word problem, always translate, in order, the exact meaning of each part of the sentence. "is, was," etc. always means "="; "of, times, by" means "*", etc.
