What is 26.46 percent of 126 - 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 126 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 126 is 100%, so we can write it down as 126=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.46% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.46%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 126=100%
2) x=26.46%
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:
126/x=100%/26.46%
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 26.46% of 126

126/x=100/26.46
(126/x)*x=(100/26.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
126=3.7792894935752*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7792894935752) to get x
126/3.7792894935752=x
33.3396=x
x=33.3396

now we have:
26.46% of 126=33.3396
