139 is what percent of 1 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 139 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=139.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=139
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%=1/139
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 139 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/139
(100/x)*x=(1/139)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0071942446043165*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0071942446043165) to get x
100/0.0071942446043165=x
13900=x
x=13900

now we have:
139 is 13900% of 1
