39 is what percent of 124000 - 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 124000 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 124000, so we can write it down as 100%=124000.
4. We know, that x% equals 39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=124000
2) x%=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%=124000/39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 39 is what percent of 124000

100%/x%=124000/39
(100/x)*x=(124000/39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3179.4871794872*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3179.4871794872) to get x
100/3179.4871794872=x
0.031451612903226=x
x=0.031451612903226

now we have:
39 is 0.031451612903226% of 124000
