20 is what percent of 26691 - 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 26691 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 26691, so we can write it down as 100%=26691.
4. We know, that x% equals 20 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26691
2) x%=20
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%=26691/20
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20 is what percent of 26691

100%/x%=26691/20
(100/x)*x=(26691/20)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1334.55*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1334.55) to get x
100/1334.55=x
0.074931624892286=x
x=0.074931624892286

now we have:
20 is 0.074931624892286% of 26691
