What is 0.003 percent of 60000000 - 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 60000000 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 60000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.003% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.003%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60000000=100%
2) x=0.003%
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:
60000000/x=100%/0.003%
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 0.003% of 60000000

60000000/x=100/0.003
(60000000/x)*x=(100/0.003)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60000000=33333.3333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33333.3333333) to get x
60000000/33333.3333333=x
1800=x
x=1800

now we have:
0.003% of 60000000=1800
