What is 26.6666 percent of 975 - 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 975 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 975 is 100%, so we can write it down as 975=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.6666% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.6666%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 975=100%
2) x=26.6666%
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:
975/x=100%/26.6666%
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 26.6666% of 975

975/x=100/26.6666
(975/x)*x=(100/26.6666)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
975=3.7500093750234*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7500093750234) to get x
975/3.7500093750234=x
259.99935=x
x=259.99935

now we have:
26.6666% of 975=259.99935
