39 is what percent of 4052 - 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 4052 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 4052, so we can write it down as 100%=4052.
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%=4052
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%=4052/39
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 4052

100%/x%=4052/39
(100/x)*x=(4052/39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=103.89743589744*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (103.89743589744) to get x
100/103.89743589744=x
0.96248766041461=x
x=0.96248766041461

now we have:
39 is 0.96248766041461% of 4052
