7.13 is what percent of 26.2 - 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 26.2 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 26.2, so we can write it down as 100%=26.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.2
2) x%=7.13
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%=26.2/7.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.13 is what percent of 26.2

100%/x%=26.2/7.13
(100/x)*x=(26.2/7.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6746143057504*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6746143057504) to get x
100/3.6746143057504=x
27.213740458015=x
x=27.213740458015

now we have:
7.13 is 27.213740458015% of 26.2
