What is 33.08 percent of 26.999 - 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 26.999 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 26.999 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26.999=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.08% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.08%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26.999=100%
2) x=33.08%
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:
26.999/x=100%/33.08%
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 33.08% of 26.999

26.999/x=100/33.08
(26.999/x)*x=(100/33.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26.999=3.0229746070133*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0229746070133) to get x
26.999/3.0229746070133=x
8.9312692=x
x=8.9312692

now we have:
33.08% of 26.999=8.9312692
