What is 26 percent of 5199 - 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 5199 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 5199 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5199=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5199=100%
2) x=26%
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:
5199/x=100%/26%
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 26% of 5199

5199/x=100/26
(5199/x)*x=(100/26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5199=3.84615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.84615384615) to get x
5199/3.84615384615=x
1351.74=x
x=1351.74

now we have:
26% of 5199=1351.74
