    If you think of it logically, this problem is saying:

    x ⋅ 1 % = 39

    1 % is 1/100 so it's

    x ⋅ 1/100 = 39

    Divide both sides by 1/100 and you get

    x = 39/1/100

    Remember that when there is a fraction in the denominator we flip it and multiply that on top and bottom:

    x = 39 ⋅ 100 (1/100) ⋅ 100

    Therefore

    x = 3900

    You can check this by multiplying our answer by 1 %

    3900 ⋅ 0.01 = 39
