What is 26 percent of 943 - 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 943 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 943 is 100%, so we can write it down as 943=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) 943=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:
943/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 943

943/x=100/26
(943/x)*x=(100/26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
943=3.8461538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8461538461538) to get x
943/3.8461538461538=x
245.18=x
x=245.18

now we have:
26% of 943=245.18
