26.21 is what percent of 207.48 - 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 207.48 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 207.48, so we can write it down as 100%=207.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=207.48
2) x%=26.21
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%=207.48/26.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.21 is what percent of 207.48

100%/x%=207.48/26.21
(100/x)*x=(207.48/26.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.9160625715376*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9160625715376) to get x
100/7.9160625715376=x
12.632542895701=x
x=12.632542895701

now we have:
26.21 is 12.632542895701% of 207.48
