26.8 is what percent of 91.74 - 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 91.74 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 91.74, so we can write it down as 100%=91.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=91.74
2) x%=26.8
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%=91.74/26.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.8 is what percent of 91.74

100%/x%=91.74/26.8
(100/x)*x=(91.74/26.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4231343283582*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4231343283582) to get x
100/3.4231343283582=x
29.21299324177=x
x=29.21299324177

now we have:
26.8 is 29.21299324177% of 91.74
