What is 15.041 percent of 26.242 - 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 26.242 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 26.242 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26.242=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.041% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.041%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26.242=100%
2) x=15.041%
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:
26.242/x=100%/15.041%
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 15.041% of 26.242

26.242/x=100/15.041
(26.242/x)*x=(100/15.041)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26.242=6.6484941160827*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6484941160827) to get x
26.242/6.6484941160827=x
3.94705922=x
x=3.94705922

now we have:
