1.39 is what percent of 1.95 - 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 1.95 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 1.95, so we can write it down as 100%=1.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.95
2) x%=1.39
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%=1.95/1.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.39 is what percent of 1.95

100%/x%=1.95/1.39
(100/x)*x=(1.95/1.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4028776978417*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4028776978417) to get x
100/1.4028776978417=x
71.282051282051=x
x=71.282051282051

now we have:
1.39 is 71.282051282051% of 1.95
