What is 33.26 percent of 42.59 - 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 42.59 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 42.59 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42.59=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42.59=100%
2) x=33.26%
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:
42.59/x=100%/33.26%
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 33.26% of 42.59

42.59/x=100/33.26
(42.59/x)*x=(100/33.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42.59=3.0066145520144*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0066145520144) to get x
42.59/3.0066145520144=x
14.165434=x
x=14.165434

now we have:
33.26% of 42.59=14.165434
