Answer:

7.8

Explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 26.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above, 26 = 100%.

Step 4: Similarly, X = 30%.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

26 = 100% (1).

X = 30%(2).

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

26

100% 30% X

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/26 = 30/100

⇒X= 7.8

Therefore, 30% of 26 is 7.8
