What is 9.98 percent of 26888 - 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 26888 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 26888 is 100%, so we can write it down as 26888=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 26888=100%
2) x=9.98%
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:
26888/x=100%/9.98%
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 9.98% of 26888

26888/x=100/9.98
(26888/x)*x=(100/9.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
26888=10.02004008016*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.02004008016) to get x
26888/10.02004008016=x
2683.4224=x
x=2683.4224

now we have:
9.98% of 26888=2683.4224
