26 is what percent of 2433 - 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 2433 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 2433, so we can write it down as 100%=2433.
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%=2433
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%=2433/26
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 2433

100%/x%=2433/26
(100/x)*x=(2433/26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=93.576923076923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (93.576923076923) to get x
100/93.576923076923=x
1.068639539663=x
x=1.068639539663

now we have:
26 is 1.068639539663% of 2433
