What is 2600 percent of 21500 - 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 21500 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 21500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2600% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2600%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21500=100%
2) x=2600%
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:
21500/x=100%/2600%
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 2600% of 21500

21500/x=100/2600
(21500/x)*x=(100/2600)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21500=0.038461538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.038461538461538) to get x
21500/0.038461538461538=x
559000=x
x=559000

now we have:
2600% of 21500=559000
