What is 0.0118 percent of 8.47 - 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 8.47 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 8.47 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0118% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0118%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.47=100%
2) x=0.0118%
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:
8.47/x=100%/0.0118%
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 0.0118% of 8.47

8.47/x=100/0.0118
(8.47/x)*x=(100/0.0118)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.47=8474.5762711864*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8474.5762711864) to get x
8.47/8474.5762711864=x
0.00099946=x
x=0.00099946

now we have:
0.0118% of 8.47=0.00099946
