What is 15.3846154 percent of 39 - 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 39 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 39 is 100%, so we can write it down as 39=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.3846154% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.3846154%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 39=100%
2) x=15.3846154%
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:
39/x=100%/15.3846154%
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 15.3846154% of 39

39/x=100/15.3846154
(39/x)*x=(100/15.3846154)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
39=6.4999999935*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4999999935) to get x
39/6.4999999935=x
6.000000006=x
x=6.000000006

now we have:
15.3846154% of 39=6.000000006
