26.1 is what percent of 132.65 - 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 132.65 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 132.65, so we can write it down as 100%=132.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=132.65
2) x%=26.1
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%=132.65/26.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.1 is what percent of 132.65

100%/x%=132.65/26.1
(100/x)*x=(132.65/26.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0823754789272*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0823754789272) to get x
100/5.0823754789272=x
19.6758386732=x
x=19.6758386732

now we have:
26.1 is 19.6758386732% of 132.65
