3.89 is what percent of 15.93 - 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 15.93 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 15.93, so we can write it down as 100%=15.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.93
2) x%=3.89
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%=15.93/3.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.89 is what percent of 15.93

100%/x%=15.93/3.89
(100/x)*x=(15.93/3.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.0951156812339*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0951156812339) to get x
100/4.0951156812339=x
24.419334588826=x
x=24.419334588826

now we have:
3.89 is 24.419334588826% of 15.93
