23.67 is what percent of 26 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=26.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26
2) x%=23.67
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%=26/23.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.67 is what percent of 26

100%/x%=26/23.67
(100/x)*x=(26/23.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0984368398817*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0984368398817) to get x
100/1.0984368398817=x
91.038461538462=x
x=91.038461538462

now we have:
23.67 is 91.038461538462% of 26
