4891.26 is what percent of 27000 - 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 27000 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 27000, so we can write it down as 100%=27000.
4. We know, that x% equals 4891.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4891.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27000
2) x%=4891.26
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%=27000/4891.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4891.26 is what percent of 27000

100%/x%=27000/4891.26
(100/x)*x=(27000/4891.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5200500484538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5200500484538) to get x
100/5.5200500484538=x
18.115777777778=x
x=18.115777777778

now we have:
