2.39 is what percent of 7.5 - 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 7.5 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 7.5, so we can write it down as 100%=7.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.5
2) x%=2.39
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%=7.5/2.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.39 is what percent of 7.5

100%/x%=7.5/2.39
(100/x)*x=(7.5/2.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1380753138075*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1380753138075) to get x
100/3.1380753138075=x
31.866666666667=x
x=31.866666666667

now we have:
2.39 is 31.866666666667% of 7.5
