What is 26.76 percent of 87.8 - 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 87.8 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 87.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 87.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 87.8=100%
2) x=26.76%
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:
87.8/x=100%/26.76%
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 26.76% of 87.8

87.8/x=100/26.76
(87.8/x)*x=(100/26.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
87.8=3.7369207772795*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7369207772795) to get x
87.8/3.7369207772795=x
23.49528=x
x=23.49528

now we have:
26.76% of 87.8=23.49528
