9.55 is what percent of 26.99 - 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 26.99 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 26.99, so we can write it down as 100%=26.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.99
2) x%=9.55
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%=26.99/9.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.55 is what percent of 26.99

100%/x%=26.99/9.55
(100/x)*x=(26.99/9.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8261780104712*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8261780104712) to get x
100/2.8261780104712=x
35.383475361245=x
x=35.383475361245

now we have:
9.55 is 35.383475361245% of 26.99
