What is 26.36 percent of 255.62 - 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 255.62 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 255.62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 255.62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 255.62=100%
2) x=26.36%
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:
255.62/x=100%/26.36%
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 26.36% of 255.62

255.62/x=100/26.36
(255.62/x)*x=(100/26.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
255.62=3.793626707132*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.793626707132) to get x
255.62/3.793626707132=x
67.381432=x
x=67.381432

now we have:
26.36% of 255.62=67.381432
