What is 30.77 percent of 26 - 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 26 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 26 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30.77% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30.77%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26=100%
2) x=30.77%
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:
26/x=100%/30.77%
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 30.77% of 26

26/x=100/30.77
(26/x)*x=(100/30.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26=3.2499187520312*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2499187520312) to get x
26/3.2499187520312=x
8.0002=x
x=8.0002

now we have:
30.77% of 26=8.0002
