What is 26.7 percent of 68.75 - 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 68.75 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 68.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 68.75=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) 68.75=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:
68.75/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 68.75

68.75/x=100/26.7
(68.75/x)*x=(100/26.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
68.75=3.7453183520599*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7453183520599) to get x
68.75/3.7453183520599=x
18.35625=x
x=18.35625

now we have:
26.7% of 68.75=18.35625
