26.32 is what percent of 35.01 - 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 35.01 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 35.01, so we can write it down as 100%=35.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35.01
2) x%=26.32
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%=35.01/26.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.32 is what percent of 35.01

100%/x%=35.01/26.32
(100/x)*x=(35.01/26.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3301671732523*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3301671732523) to get x
100/1.3301671732523=x
75.178520422736=x
x=75.178520422736

now we have:
26.32 is 75.178520422736% of 35.01
