What is 26.01 percent of 299 - 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 299 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 299 is 100%, so we can write it down as 299=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.01% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.01%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 299=100%
2) x=26.01%
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:
299/x=100%/26.01%
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 26.01% of 299

299/x=100/26.01
(299/x)*x=(100/26.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
299=3.8446751249519*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8446751249519) to get x
299/3.8446751249519=x
77.7699=x
x=77.7699

now we have:
26.01% of 299=77.7699
