26.49 is what percent of 554.28 - 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 554.28 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 554.28, so we can write it down as 100%=554.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=554.28
2) x%=26.49
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%=554.28/26.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.49 is what percent of 554.28

100%/x%=554.28/26.49
(100/x)*x=(554.28/26.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.924122310306*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.924122310306) to get x
100/20.924122310306=x
4.7791729811648=x
x=4.7791729811648

now we have:
