What is 26.99 percent of 12.6 - 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 12.6 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 12.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.6=100%
2) x=26.99%
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:
12.6/x=100%/26.99%
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 26.99% of 12.6

12.6/x=100/26.99
(12.6/x)*x=(100/26.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.6=3.7050759540571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7050759540571) to get x
12.6/3.7050759540571=x
3.40074=x
x=3.40074

now we have:
26.99% of 12.6=3.40074
