What is 26.98 percent of 36423.7 - 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 36423.7 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 36423.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 36423.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 36423.7=100%
2) x=26.98%
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:
36423.7/x=100%/26.98%
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 26.98% of 36423.7

36423.7/x=100/26.98
(36423.7/x)*x=(100/26.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
36423.7=3.7064492216457*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7064492216457) to get x
36423.7/3.7064492216457=x
9827.11426=x
x=9827.11426

now we have:
