0.79 is what percent of 39.57 - 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 39.57 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 100% equals 39.57, so we can write it down as 100%=39.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=39.57
2) x%=0.79
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:
100%/x%=39.57/0.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.79 is what percent of 39.57

100%/x%=39.57/0.79
(100/x)*x=(39.57/0.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=50.088607594937*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50.088607594937) to get x
100/50.088607594937=x
1.996461966136=x
x=1.996461966136

now we have:
0.79 is 1.996461966136% of 39.57
