What is 26.17 percent of 75 - 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 75 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 75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75=100%
2) x=26.17%
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:
75/x=100%/26.17%
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 26.17% of 75

75/x=100/26.17
(75/x)*x=(100/26.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75=3.821169277799*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.821169277799) to get x
75/3.821169277799=x
19.6275=x
x=19.6275

now we have:
26.17% of 75=19.6275
