What is 94.3 percent of 2.6 - 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 2.6 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 2.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 94.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=94.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.6=100%
2) x=94.3%
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:
2.6/x=100%/94.3%
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 94.3% of 2.6

2.6/x=100/94.3
(2.6/x)*x=(100/94.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.6=1.0604453870626*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0604453870626) to get x
2.6/1.0604453870626=x
2.4518=x
x=2.4518

now we have:
94.3% of 2.6=2.4518
