9.26 is what percent of 25.436 - 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 25.436 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 25.436, so we can write it down as 100%=25.436.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.436
2) x%=9.26
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%=25.436/9.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.26 is what percent of 25.436

100%/x%=25.436/9.26
(100/x)*x=(25.436/9.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.74686825054*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.74686825054) to get x
100/2.74686825054=x
36.405095140745=x
x=36.405095140745

now we have:
9.26 is 36.405095140745% of 25.436
