39.09 is what percent of 1344 - 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 1344 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 1344, so we can write it down as 100%=1344.
4. We know, that x% equals 39.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=39.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1344
2) x%=39.09
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%=1344/39.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 39.09 is what percent of 1344

100%/x%=1344/39.09
(100/x)*x=(1344/39.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.382194934766*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.382194934766) to get x
100/34.382194934766=x
2.9084821428571=x
x=2.9084821428571

now we have:
39.09 is 2.9084821428571% of 1344
