39.03 is what percent of 793.73 - 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 793.73 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 793.73, so we can write it down as 100%=793.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 39.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=39.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=793.73
2) x%=39.03
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%=793.73/39.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 39.03 is what percent of 793.73

100%/x%=793.73/39.03
(100/x)*x=(793.73/39.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.336407891366*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.336407891366) to get x
100/20.336407891366=x
4.9172892545324=x
x=4.9172892545324

now we have:
39.03 is 4.9172892545324% of 793.73
