What is 26.95 percent of 2.5 - 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 2.5 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 2.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=26.95%
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:
2.5/x=100%/26.95%
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 26.95% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/26.95
(2.5/x)*x=(100/26.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=3.7105751391466*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7105751391466) to get x
2.5/3.7105751391466=x
0.67375=x
x=0.67375

now we have:
26.95% of 2.5=0.67375
