26.45 is what percent of 330.55 - 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 330.55 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 330.55, so we can write it down as 100%=330.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=330.55
2) x%=26.45
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%=330.55/26.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.45 is what percent of 330.55

100%/x%=330.55/26.45
(100/x)*x=(330.55/26.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.497164461248*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.497164461248) to get x
100/12.497164461248=x
8.0018151565573=x
x=8.0018151565573

now we have:
26.45 is 8.0018151565573% of 330.55
