26.55 is what percent of 379.33 - 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 379.33 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 379.33, so we can write it down as 100%=379.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=379.33
2) x%=26.55
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%=379.33/26.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.55 is what percent of 379.33

100%/x%=379.33/26.55
(100/x)*x=(379.33/26.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.287382297552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.287382297552) to get x
100/14.287382297552=x
6.9991827696201=x
x=6.9991827696201

now we have:
26.55 is 6.9991827696201% of 379.33
