What is 26400 percent of 37440 - 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 37440 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 37440 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37440=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26400% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26400%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 37440=100%
2) x=26400%
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:
37440/x=100%/26400%
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 26400% of 37440

37440/x=100/26400
(37440/x)*x=(100/26400)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37440=0.0037878787878788*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0037878787878788) to get x
37440/0.0037878787878788=x
9884160=x
x=9884160

now we have:
26400% of 37440=9884160
