Hi Mary,
Each question per each person is worth exactly 3.125% (100:32).  Now, assume you asked a certain question 32 different people and recieved the following answer: 
7 choosed A, 9 choosed B, 6 choosed C, 5 choosed D, and 5 chosed E. 
7 means 21.875% (21.9%)  (3.125 *7)
9 means 30.125% (30.1%)  (3.125 *9)
6 means 18.750% (18.8%)  (3.125 *6)
5 means 15.625% (15.6%)  (3.125 *5)
Hope it's clear by now.  If you have any additional question, please don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards,

Love is the battery of life....

in general, divide the various answers by 32. this will produce a decimal, which you can then convert to a % by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right and adding a % sign.

Jay is correct. There's something missing from your narration of the steps. If I follow the steps you describe with my own secret numbers, it doesn't work.
