26 is what percent of 3337 - 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 3337 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 3337, so we can write it down as 100%=3337.
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%=3337
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%=3337/26
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 3337

100%/x%=3337/26
(100/x)*x=(3337/26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=128.34615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (128.34615384615) to get x
100/128.34615384615=x
0.77914294276296=x
x=0.77914294276296

now we have:
26 is 0.77914294276296% of 3337
