0.98 is what percent of 26.67 - 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 26.67 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 26.67, so we can write it down as 100%=26.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.67
2) x%=0.98
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%=26.67/0.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.98 is what percent of 26.67

100%/x%=26.67/0.98
(100/x)*x=(26.67/0.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.214285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.214285714286) to get x
100/27.214285714286=x
3.6745406824147=x
x=3.6745406824147

now we have:
0.98 is 3.6745406824147% of 26.67
