26999.6 is what percent of 2700 - 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 2700 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 2700, so we can write it down as 100%=2700.
4. We know, that x% equals 26999.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26999.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2700
2) x%=26999.6
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%=2700/26999.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26999.6 is what percent of 2700

100%/x%=2700/26999.6
(100/x)*x=(2700/26999.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.10000148150343*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.10000148150343) to get x
100/0.10000148150343=x
999.98518518519=x
x=999.98518518519

now we have:
26999.6 is 999.98518518519% of 2700
