What is 26.91 percent of 59.8 - 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 59.8 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 59.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.91% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.91%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59.8=100%
2) x=26.91%
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:
59.8/x=100%/26.91%
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 26.91% of 59.8

59.8/x=100/26.91
(59.8/x)*x=(100/26.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59.8=3.7160906726124*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7160906726124) to get x
59.8/3.7160906726124=x
16.09218=x
x=16.09218

now we have:
26.91% of 59.8=16.09218
