What is 26.666 percent of 180 - 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 180 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 180 is 100%, so we can write it down as 180=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.666% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.666%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 180=100%
2) x=26.666%
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:
180/x=100%/26.666%
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 26.666% of 180

180/x=100/26.666
(180/x)*x=(100/26.666)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
180=3.7500937523438*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7500937523438) to get x
180/3.7500937523438=x
47.9988=x
x=47.9988

now we have:
26.666% of 180=47.9988
