What is 26.7 percent of 28.8 - 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 28.8 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 28.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28.8=100%
2) x=26.7%
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:
28.8/x=100%/26.7%
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 26.7% of 28.8

28.8/x=100/26.7
(28.8/x)*x=(100/26.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28.8=3.7453183520599*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7453183520599) to get x
28.8/3.7453183520599=x
7.6896=x
x=7.6896

now we have:
26.7% of 28.8=7.6896
