39 is what percent of 73693 - 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 73693 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 73693, so we can write it down as 100%=73693.
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%=73693
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%=73693/39
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 73693

100%/x%=73693/39
(100/x)*x=(73693/39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1889.5641025641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1889.5641025641) to get x
100/1889.5641025641=x
0.052922258559158=x
x=0.052922258559158

now we have:
