What is 13.277777 percent of 264 - 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 264 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 264 is 100%, so we can write it down as 264=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.277777% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.277777%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 264=100%
2) x=13.277777%
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:
264/x=100%/13.277777%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 13.277777% of 264

264/x=100/13.277777
(264/x)*x=(100/13.277777)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
264=7.5313811943068*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5313811943068) to get x
264/7.5313811943068=x
35.05333128=x
x=35.05333128

now we have:
13.277777% of 264=35.05333128
