26.3 is what percent of 0.333 - 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 0.333 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 0.333, so we can write it down as 100%=0.333.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.333
2) x%=26.3
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%=0.333/26.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.3 is what percent of 0.333

100%/x%=0.333/26.3
(100/x)*x=(0.333/26.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.012661596958175*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.012661596958175) to get x
100/0.012661596958175=x
7897.8978978979=x
x=7897.8978978979

now we have:
26.3 is 7897.8978978979% of 0.333
