What is 1.29 percent of 39000 - 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 39000 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 39000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 39000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.29% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.29%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 39000=100%
2) x=1.29%
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:
39000/x=100%/1.29%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1.29% of 39000

39000/x=100/1.29
(39000/x)*x=(100/1.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
39000=77.519379844961*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (77.519379844961) to get x
39000/77.519379844961=x
503.1=x
x=503.1

now we have:
1.29% of 39000=503.1
