7.59 is what percent of 26.86 - 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 26.86 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 26.86, so we can write it down as 100%=26.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.86
2) x%=7.59
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%=26.86/7.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.59 is what percent of 26.86

100%/x%=26.86/7.59
(100/x)*x=(26.86/7.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5388669301713*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5388669301713) to get x
100/3.5388669301713=x
28.257632166791=x
x=28.257632166791

now we have:
7.59 is 28.257632166791% of 26.86
