26.59 is what percent of 906.79 - 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 906.79 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 906.79, so we can write it down as 100%=906.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=906.79
2) x%=26.59
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%=906.79/26.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.59 is what percent of 906.79

100%/x%=906.79/26.59
(100/x)*x=(906.79/26.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.102670176758*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.102670176758) to get x
100/34.102670176758=x
2.9323217062385=x
x=2.9323217062385

now we have:
