What is 1918 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 1918% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1918%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26=100%
2) x=1918%
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%/1918%
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 1918% of 26

26/x=100/1918
(26/x)*x=(100/1918)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26=0.052137643378519*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.052137643378519) to get x
26/0.052137643378519=x
498.68=x
x=498.68

now we have:
1918% of 26=498.68
