2550.99 is what percent of 39 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=39.
4. We know, that x% equals 2550.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2550.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=39
2) x%=2550.99
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%=39/2550.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2550.99 is what percent of 39

100%/x%=39/2550.99
(100/x)*x=(39/2550.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.015288182235132*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.015288182235132) to get x
100/0.015288182235132=x
6541=x
x=6541

now we have:
2550.99 is 6541% of 39
