What is 39 percent of 2609 - 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 2609 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 2609 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2609=100%.
4. We know, that x is 39% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=39%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2609=100%
2) x=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:
2609/x=100%/39%
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 39% of 2609

2609/x=100/39
(2609/x)*x=(100/39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2609=2.5641025641026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5641025641026) to get x
2609/2.5641025641026=x
1017.51=x
x=1017.51

now we have:
39% of 2609=1017.51
