What is 0.275 percent of 26.1 - 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 26.1 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 26.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.275% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.275%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26.1=100%
2) x=0.275%
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:
26.1/x=100%/0.275%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.275% of 26.1

26.1/x=100/0.275
(26.1/x)*x=(100/0.275)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26.1=363.63636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (363.63636363636) to get x
26.1/363.63636363636=x
0.071775=x
x=0.071775

now we have:
0.275% of 26.1=0.071775
