What is 26.78 percent of 0.004 - 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 0.004 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 0.004 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.004=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.004=100%
2) x=26.78%
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:
0.004/x=100%/26.78%
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 26.78% of 0.004

0.004/x=100/26.78
(0.004/x)*x=(100/26.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.004=3.7341299477222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7341299477222) to get x
0.004/3.7341299477222=x
0.0010712=x
x=0.0010712

now we have:
26.78% of 0.004=0.0010712
