0.73 is what percent of 26.73 - 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 26.73 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 26.73, so we can write it down as 100%=26.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.73
2) x%=0.73
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%=26.73/0.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.73 is what percent of 26.73

100%/x%=26.73/0.73
(100/x)*x=(26.73/0.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=36.616438356164*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (36.616438356164) to get x
100/36.616438356164=x
2.731013842125=x
x=2.731013842125

now we have:
0.73 is 2.731013842125% of 26.73
