#48%#

#1#. Start by representing the percentage by the variable, #x#. Use the variable to create an algebraic expression.

#82x=39.36#

#2#. Solve for #x# by dividing both sides by 82.

#82xcolor(red)(-:82)=39.36color(red)(-:82)#

#x=0.48#

#2#. To represent #0.48# as a percentage, multiply the decimal by #100%#.

#0.48xx100%#

#=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)48%color(white)(a/a)|)))#

To find what percent 39.36 is of 82, we can use the formula:

[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 ]

In this case, the part is 39.36 and the whole is 82:

[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{39.36}{82} \right) \times 100 ]

Calculating this:

[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{39.36}{82} \right) \times 100 \approx 47.999 ]

So, 39.36 is approximately 48% of 82.
