26.97 is what percent of 1966.14 - 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 1966.14 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 1966.14, so we can write it down as 100%=1966.14.
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%=1966.14
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%=1966.14/26.97
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 1966.14

100%/x%=1966.14/26.97
(100/x)*x=(1966.14/26.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=72.901001112347*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (72.901001112347) to get x
100/72.901001112347=x
1.3717232750465=x
x=1.3717232750465

now we have:
26.97 is 1.3717232750465% of 1966.14
