26 is what percent of 44700 - 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 44700 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 44700, so we can write it down as 100%=44700.
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%=44700
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%=44700/26
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 44700

100%/x%=44700/26
(100/x)*x=(44700/26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1719.2307692308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1719.2307692308) to get x
100/1719.2307692308=x
0.058165548098434=x
x=0.058165548098434

now we have:
26 is 0.058165548098434% of 44700
