What is 14.9 percent of 26900 - 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 26900 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 26900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26900=100%
2) x=14.9%
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:
26900/x=100%/14.9%
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 14.9% of 26900

26900/x=100/14.9
(26900/x)*x=(100/14.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26900=6.7114093959732*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.7114093959732) to get x
26900/6.7114093959732=x
4008.1=x
x=4008.1

now we have:
14.9% of 26900=4008.1
