What is 26.8 percent of 128 - 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 128 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 128 is 100%, so we can write it down as 128=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 128=100%
2) x=26.8%
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:
128/x=100%/26.8%
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 26.8% of 128

128/x=100/26.8
(128/x)*x=(100/26.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
128=3.7313432835821*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7313432835821) to get x
128/3.7313432835821=x
34.304=x
x=34.304

now we have:
26.8% of 128=34.304
