39501 is what percent of 94500 - 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 94500 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 94500, so we can write it down as 100%=94500.
4. We know, that x% equals 39501 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=39501.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94500
2) x%=39501
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%=94500/39501
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 39501 is what percent of 94500

100%/x%=94500/39501
(100/x)*x=(94500/39501)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3923444976077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3923444976077) to get x
100/2.3923444976077=x
41.8=x
x=41.8

now we have:
39501 is 41.8% of 94500
