37.79 is what percent of 50.39 - 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 50.39 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 50.39, so we can write it down as 100%=50.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 37.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=50.39
2) x%=37.79
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%=50.39/37.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37.79 is what percent of 50.39

100%/x%=50.39/37.79
(100/x)*x=(50.39/37.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.33342154009*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.33342154009) to get x
100/1.33342154009=x
74.995038698154=x
x=74.995038698154

now we have:
37.79 is 74.995038698154% of 50.39
