26.75 is what percent of 20.06 - 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 20.06 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 20.06, so we can write it down as 100%=20.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20.06
2) x%=26.75
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%=20.06/26.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.75 is what percent of 20.06

100%/x%=20.06/26.75
(100/x)*x=(20.06/26.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.74990654205607*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.74990654205607) to get x
100/0.74990654205607=x
133.34995014955=x
x=133.34995014955

now we have:
26.75 is 133.34995014955% of 20.06
