What is 0.03 percent of 5546 - 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 5546 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 5546 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5546=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.03% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.03%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5546=100%
2) x=0.03%
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:
5546/x=100%/0.03%
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 0.03% of 5546

5546/x=100/0.03
(5546/x)*x=(100/0.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5546=3333.3333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3333.3333333333) to get x
5546/3333.3333333333=x
1.6638=x
x=1.6638

now we have:
0.03% of 5546=1.6638
