What is 0.0011 percent of 15431 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 15431 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 15431 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15431=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0011% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0011%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15431=100%
2) x=0.0011%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
15431/x=100%/0.0011%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.0011% of 15431

15431/x=100/0.0011
(15431/x)*x=(100/0.0011)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15431=90909.090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (90909.090909091) to get x
15431/90909.090909091=x
0.169741=x
x=0.169741

now we have:
0.0011% of 15431=0.169741
