3.49 is what percent of 39000 - 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 39000 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 39000, so we can write it down as 100%=39000.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=39000
2) x%=3.49
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%=39000/3.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.49 is what percent of 39000

100%/x%=39000/3.49
(100/x)*x=(39000/3.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11174.785100287*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11174.785100287) to get x
100/11174.785100287=x
0.0089487179487179=x
x=0.0089487179487179

now we have:
3.49 is 0.0089487179487179% of 39000
