What is 1 percent of 2667.86 - 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 2667.86 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 2667.86 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2667.86=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2667.86=100%
2) x=1%
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:
2667.86/x=100%/1%
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 1% of 2667.86

2667.86/x=100/1
(2667.86/x)*x=(100/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2667.86=100*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (100) to get x
2667.86/100=x
26.6786=x
x=26.6786

now we have:
1% of 2667.86=26.6786
