25.95 is what percent of 26.753 - 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 26.753 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 26.753, so we can write it down as 100%=26.753.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.753
2) x%=25.95
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%=26.753/25.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.95 is what percent of 26.753

100%/x%=26.753/25.95
(100/x)*x=(26.753/25.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0309441233141*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0309441233141) to get x
100/1.0309441233141=x
96.998467461593=x
x=96.998467461593

now we have:
25.95 is 96.998467461593% of 26.753
