Answer:

39 is 26.71% of 146

Explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 146 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100% = 146.

Step 4: In the same vein, x% = 39.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100% = 146(1).

x%=39(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS (left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100/x% = 146/39

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x% / 100% = 39/146 ⇒ x= 26.71%

Therefore, 39 is 26.71% of 146.

hope it helps:)
