What percent of 150 is 39?

26%

Step-by-step explanation:

In a percent proportion, the first ratio is percent/100. We do not know the percent, so we will use a variable: x/100.

The second ratio is part/whole. 39 is the part and 150 is the whole; this gives us 39/150.

This gives us the proportion

x/100 = 39/150

Cross multiply:

x (150) = 100 (39)

150x = 3900

Divide both sides by 150:

150x/150 = 3900/150

x = 26

let assume x percent of 150 is 39

so

150 * x % = 39

150 * x/100 = 39

x = 39*100/150 = 26 % answer
