26.72 is what percent of 890.69 - 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 890.69 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 890.69, so we can write it down as 100%=890.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=890.69
2) x%=26.72
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%=890.69/26.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.72 is what percent of 890.69

100%/x%=890.69/26.72
(100/x)*x=(890.69/26.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.334206586826*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.334206586826) to get x
100/33.334206586826=x
2.9999214092445=x
x=2.9999214092445

now we have:
26.72 is 2.9999214092445% of 890.69
