What is 1.45 percent of 26009 - 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 26009 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 26009 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26009=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26009=100%
2) x=1.45%
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:
26009/x=100%/1.45%
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 1.45% of 26009

26009/x=100/1.45
(26009/x)*x=(100/1.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26009=68.965517241379*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.965517241379) to get x
26009/68.965517241379=x
377.1305=x
x=377.1305

now we have:
1.45% of 26009=377.1305
