39.3 is what percent of 274.3 - 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 274.3 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 274.3, so we can write it down as 100%=274.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 39.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=39.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=274.3
2) x%=39.3
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%=274.3/39.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 39.3 is what percent of 274.3

100%/x%=274.3/39.3
(100/x)*x=(274.3/39.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.9796437659033*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9796437659033) to get x
100/6.9796437659033=x
14.327378782355=x
x=14.327378782355

now we have:
39.3 is 14.327378782355% of 274.3
