26.97 is what percent of 175.98 - 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 175.98 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 175.98, so we can write it down as 100%=175.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=175.98
2) x%=26.97
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%=175.98/26.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.97 is what percent of 175.98

100%/x%=175.98/26.97
(100/x)*x=(175.98/26.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5250278086763*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5250278086763) to get x
100/6.5250278086763=x
15.325605182407=x
x=15.325605182407

now we have:
