What is 9.74 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 9.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 39=100%
2) x=9.74%
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%/9.74%
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 9.74% of 39

39/x=100/9.74
(39/x)*x=(100/9.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
39=10.266940451745*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.266940451745) to get x
39/10.266940451745=x
3.7986=x
x=3.7986

now we have:
9.74% of 39=3.7986
