0.33 is what percent of 26 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 26 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 26, so we can write it down as 100%=26.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26
2) x%=0.33
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=26/0.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.33 is what percent of 26

100%/x%=26/0.33
(100/x)*x=(26/0.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=78.787878787879*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (78.787878787879) to get x
100/78.787878787879=x
1.2692307692308=x
x=1.2692307692308

now we have:
0.33 is 1.2692307692308% of 26
