What is 0.0054 percent of 17488 - 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 17488 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 17488 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17488=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0054% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0054%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17488=100%
2) x=0.0054%
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:
17488/x=100%/0.0054%
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 0.0054% of 17488

17488/x=100/0.0054
(17488/x)*x=(100/0.0054)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17488=18518.518518519*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18518.518518519) to get x
17488/18518.518518519=x
0.944352=x
x=0.944352
