26.95 is what percent of 7.5 - 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 7.5 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 7.5, so we can write it down as 100%=7.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.5
2) x%=26.95
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%=7.5/26.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.95 is what percent of 7.5

100%/x%=7.5/26.95
(100/x)*x=(7.5/26.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.27829313543599*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.27829313543599) to get x
100/0.27829313543599=x
359.33333333333=x
x=359.33333333333

now we have:
26.95 is 359.33333333333% of 7.5
