What is 26420 percent of 0.18 - 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 0.18 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 0.18 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.18=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26420% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26420%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.18=100%
2) x=26420%
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:
0.18/x=100%/26420%
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 26420% of 0.18

0.18/x=100/26420
(0.18/x)*x=(100/26420)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.18=0.0037850113550341*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0037850113550341) to get x
0.18/0.0037850113550341=x
47.556=x
x=47.556

now we have:
26420% of 0.18=47.556
