Find the amount when the base and percent are known.
Amount = base x percent
remove the % symbol. Divide 15 by 100
75 / 100 = 0.75
Multiply 32 times the decimal
32 x 0.75 = 24
The amount is 24
24 is 75% of 32

Imagine if the 32 was 100.
Then 75% of it would be 75
Why?
Because it is 75 parts of the 100 parts.
therefore , 75% of 32 would be like 75 parts of the 100 parts that make 32..

I'll try to explain. Percentages is easy if you understand the concept first. So when we say 75 "per cent", it means really that. That you wanna take 75 per each cent (100).
So for example, 75 percent of 100 is 75. (I'm sure you know that, just making my point).
In the case that you want 75 "per cent" of 200, than you shoud take 75 for each 100, in this case you have 2 (hundreds) so 75 * 2 = 150.
So far just to explain the concept of percentages.
On practical terms, you should divide the percentage by 100, like in this case 75/100 and then multiply by how much you have, in our example, 200.
So,
75/100 * 200 = (you can cancel 200 with 100)
75 * 2 = 150
So in your case,
75/100 * 32 =
0.75 * 32 = 24
I hope this clears a little

In order to solve this problem, you must use multiplication.
x%, where x is any number, can be represented as x/100. Therefore, 75% can be represented as 75/100. To find 75% of 32, multiply 75% and 32.
75% * 32 = answer
= 75/100 * 32 = answer
Now multiply 75 and 32:
75/100 * 32 = answer
= 2400/100 = answer
Finally, divide 2400 by 100 to find your answer:
2400/100 = answer
= 24 = answer
This is your answer: 24.
Hope this helps!

cionvert the percentage into a decimal by replacing the % sign with a decimal and moving it 2 times to the left, this will give you .75.
nowmultiply .75 x 32 = 24
