What is 0.039 percent of 38000000 - 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 38000000 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 38000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.039% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.039%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38000000=100%
2) x=0.039%
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:
38000000/x=100%/0.039%
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 0.039% of 38000000

38000000/x=100/0.039
(38000000/x)*x=(100/0.039)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38000000=2564.1025641026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2564.1025641026) to get x
38000000/2564.1025641026=x
14820=x
x=14820

now we have:
0.039% of 38000000=14820
