7.01 is what percent of 26.5 - 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 26.5 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 26.5, so we can write it down as 100%=26.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.5
2) x%=7.01
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%=26.5/7.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.01 is what percent of 26.5

100%/x%=26.5/7.01
(100/x)*x=(26.5/7.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7803138373752*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7803138373752) to get x
100/3.7803138373752=x
26.452830188679=x
x=26.452830188679

now we have:
7.01 is 26.452830188679% of 26.5
