1.43 is what percent of 38.99 - 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 38.99 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 38.99, so we can write it down as 100%=38.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38.99
2) x%=1.43
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%=38.99/1.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.43 is what percent of 38.99

100%/x%=38.99/1.43
(100/x)*x=(38.99/1.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.265734265734*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.265734265734) to get x
100/27.265734265734=x
3.6676070787381=x
x=3.6676070787381

now we have:
1.43 is 3.6676070787381% of 38.99
