26.98 is what percent of 88.99 - 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 88.99 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 88.99, so we can write it down as 100%=88.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=88.99
2) x%=26.98
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%=88.99/26.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.98 is what percent of 88.99

100%/x%=88.99/26.98
(100/x)*x=(88.99/26.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2983691623425*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2983691623425) to get x
100/3.2983691623425=x
30.318013259917=x
x=30.318013259917

now we have:
26.98 is 30.318013259917% of 88.99
