1.21 is what percent of 26.69 - 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 26.69 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 26.69, so we can write it down as 100%=26.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.69
2) x%=1.21
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%=26.69/1.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.21 is what percent of 26.69

100%/x%=26.69/1.21
(100/x)*x=(26.69/1.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.057851239669*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.057851239669) to get x
100/22.057851239669=x
4.5335331584863=x
x=4.5335331584863

now we have:
1.21 is 4.5335331584863% of 26.69
