What is 17.973 percent of 26.85 - 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 26.85 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 26.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.973% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.973%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26.85=100%
2) x=17.973%
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:
26.85/x=100%/17.973%
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 17.973% of 26.85

26.85/x=100/17.973
(26.85/x)*x=(100/17.973)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26.85=5.5639014076671*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5639014076671) to get x
26.85/5.5639014076671=x
4.8257505=x
x=4.8257505

now we have:
17.973% of 26.85=4.8257505
