26.39 is what percent of 481.38 - 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 481.38 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 481.38, so we can write it down as 100%=481.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=481.38
2) x%=26.39
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%=481.38/26.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.39 is what percent of 481.38

100%/x%=481.38/26.39
(100/x)*x=(481.38/26.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.241000378931*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.241000378931) to get x
100/18.241000378931=x
5.4821554696913=x
x=5.4821554696913

now we have:
26.39 is 5.4821554696913% of 481.38
