What is 10000 percent of 239 - 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 239 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 239 is 100%, so we can write it down as 239=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 239=100%
2) x=10000%
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:
239/x=100%/10000%
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 10000% of 239

239/x=100/10000
(239/x)*x=(100/10000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
239=0.01*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.01) to get x
239/0.01=x
23900=x
x=23900

now we have:
10000% of 239=23900
