What is 13.73 percent of 26.55 - 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 26.55 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 26.55 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26.55=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26.55=100%
2) x=13.73%
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:
26.55/x=100%/13.73%
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 13.73% of 26.55

26.55/x=100/13.73
(26.55/x)*x=(100/13.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26.55=7.2833211944647*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2833211944647) to get x
26.55/7.2833211944647=x
3.645315=x
x=3.645315

now we have:
13.73% of 26.55=3.645315
