26.87 is what percent of 433.35 - 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 433.35 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 433.35, so we can write it down as 100%=433.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 26.87 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=26.87.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=433.35
2) x%=26.87
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%=433.35/26.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 26.87 is what percent of 433.35

100%/x%=433.35/26.87
(100/x)*x=(433.35/26.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.127651656122*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.127651656122) to get x
100/16.127651656122=x
6.2005307488174=x
x=6.2005307488174

now we have:
26.87 is 6.2005307488174% of 433.35
