26.81 is what percent of 226.8 - 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 226.8 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 226.8, so we can write it down as 100%=226.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=226.8
2) x%=26.81
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%=226.8/26.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.81 is what percent of 226.8

100%/x%=226.8/26.81
(100/x)*x=(226.8/26.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.4595300261097*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.4595300261097) to get x
100/8.4595300261097=x
11.820987654321=x
x=11.820987654321

now we have:
26.81 is 11.820987654321% of 226.8
