To determine what percent 39.2 is of 112, we can set up an equation. Let's denote the percentage we are looking for as \( x \).
The relationship can be expressed as:
\[ 39.2 = \frac{x}{100} \times 112 \]
To solve for \( x \), we can rearrange the equation:
- Multiply both sides by 100 to eliminate the fraction:
\[ 39.2 \times 100 = x \times 112 \]
- Calculate \( 39.2 \times 100 \):
\[ 3920 = x \times 112 \]
- Divide both sides by 112 to isolate \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{3920}{112} \]
- Perform the division:
\[ x = 35 \]
Therefore, 39.2 is 35% of 112.
