1.31 is what percent of 26.209 - 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 26.209 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 100% equals 26.209, so we can write it down as 100%=26.209.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.209
2) x%=1.31
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:
100%/x%=26.209/1.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.31 is what percent of 26.209

100%/x%=26.209/1.31
(100/x)*x=(26.209/1.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.006870229*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.006870229) to get x
100/20.006870229=x
4.99828303255=x
x=4.99828303255

now we have:
1.31 is 4.99828303255% of 26.209
