What is 11.14 percent of 26.51 - 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 26.51 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 26.51 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26.51=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.14% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.14%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26.51=100%
2) x=11.14%
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:
26.51/x=100%/11.14%
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 11.14% of 26.51

26.51/x=100/11.14
(26.51/x)*x=(100/11.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26.51=8.9766606822262*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9766606822262) to get x
26.51/8.9766606822262=x
2.953214=x
x=2.953214

now we have:
11.14% of 26.51=2.953214
