Steps to Solve
- Identify the part and the whole
In this problem, the part is 32 and the whole is 128.
- Set up the percentage formula
The formula for calculating the percentage is:
$$ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \right) \times 100 $$
Substituting the values we identified:
$$ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{32}{128} \right) \times 100 $$
- Calculate the fraction
First, simplify the fraction:
$$ \frac{32}{128} = \frac{1}{4} $$
- Calculate the percentage
Now, multiply the simplified fraction by 100:
$$ \text{Percentage} = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25 $$
The final answer is 25.
