n= unknown number

To find what number is 32% of 75, we would multiply 32% by n and that would equal 75. In the next step to solving, we would divide 75 by 32% (or the decimal version of 0.32).

n * 32%= 75
divide both sides by 32%
n= 75/32%
change % to decimal: move decimal two places to the left
n= 75/0.32
n= 234.375

I'm not sure if you were listing steps or answer options. The first listed is not correct. The second and third could both be correct. The second option would be closer to step one in finding the answer and the third option would be closer to finding the answer.

If you have to pick out of those listed, I would probably pick the third option.

If you just have to show work on how to do it, the work is listed above.

I hope this helps!! :)
