Translate the question to proportion. 32% of what number is 27?

To solve this kind of problems you would do Is/of and %/100 To solbve you would multiple the two numbers diagonal from each other and divide by the remaining number. So you would do 27 multiplied by 100 divided by 32 to get your answer.

We know is/of= %/100

So, if you plug all the numbers in, it would look like this:

27/x=32/100
