What is 26.3 percent of 220 - 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 220 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 220 is 100%, so we can write it down as 220=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 220=100%
2) x=26.3%
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:
220/x=100%/26.3%
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 26.3% of 220

220/x=100/26.3
(220/x)*x=(100/26.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
220=3.8022813688213*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8022813688213) to get x
220/3.8022813688213=x
57.86=x
x=57.86

now we have:
26.3% of 220=57.86
