7.39 is what percent of 386 - 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 386 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 386, so we can write it down as 100%=386.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=386
2) x%=7.39
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%=386/7.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.39 is what percent of 386

100%/x%=386/7.39
(100/x)*x=(386/7.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=52.232746955345*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52.232746955345) to get x
100/52.232746955345=x
1.9145077720207=x
x=1.9145077720207

now we have:
7.39 is 1.9145077720207% of 386
