26 is what percent of 2267 - 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 2267 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 2267, so we can write it down as 100%=2267.
4. We know, that x% equals 26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2267
2) x%=26
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%=2267/26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26 is what percent of 2267

100%/x%=2267/26
(100/x)*x=(2267/26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=87.192307692308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (87.192307692308) to get x
100/87.192307692308=x
1.1468901632113=x
x=1.1468901632113

now we have:
26 is 1.1468901632113% of 2267
