What is 150000 percent of 26 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26=100%.
4. We know, that x is 150000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=150000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26=100%
2) x=150000%
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/x=100%/150000%
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 150000% of 26

26/x=100/150000
(26/x)*x=(100/150000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26=0.00066666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00066666666666667) to get x
26/0.00066666666666667=x
39000=x
x=39000

now we have:
150000% of 26=39000
