2.6 is what percent of 30895 - 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 30895 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 30895, so we can write it down as 100%=30895.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30895
2) x%=2.6
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%=30895/2.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.6 is what percent of 30895

100%/x%=30895/2.6
(100/x)*x=(30895/2.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11882.692307692*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11882.692307692) to get x
100/11882.692307692=x
0.0084156012299725=x
x=0.0084156012299725

now we have:
2.6 is 0.0084156012299725% of 30895
