26.94 is what percent of 27840 - 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 27840 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 27840, so we can write it down as 100%=27840.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27840
2) x%=26.94
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%=27840/26.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.94 is what percent of 27840

100%/x%=27840/26.94
(100/x)*x=(27840/26.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1033.4075723831*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1033.4075723831) to get x
100/1033.4075723831=x
0.09676724137931=x
x=0.09676724137931

now we have:
