What is 825 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 825% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=825%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26=100%
2) x=825%
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%/825%
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 825% of 26

26/x=100/825
(26/x)*x=(100/825)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26=0.12121212121212*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.12121212121212) to get x
26/0.12121212121212=x
214.5=x
x=214.5

now we have:
825% of 26=214.5
