What is 12.625 percent of 26.54 - 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 26.54 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 26.54 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26.54=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26.54=100%
2) x=12.625%
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:
26.54/x=100%/12.625%
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 12.625% of 26.54

26.54/x=100/12.625
(26.54/x)*x=(100/12.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26.54=7.9207920792079*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9207920792079) to get x
26.54/7.9207920792079=x
3.350675=x
x=3.350675

now we have:
12.625% of 26.54=3.350675
