What is 7.53 percent of 260 - 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 260 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 260 is 100%, so we can write it down as 260=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.53% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.53%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 260=100%
2) x=7.53%
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:
260/x=100%/7.53%
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 7.53% of 260

260/x=100/7.53
(260/x)*x=(100/7.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
260=13.2802124834*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.2802124834) to get x
260/13.2802124834=x
19.578=x
x=19.578

now we have:
7.53% of 260=19.578
