What is 0.28 percent of 6.16 - 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 6.16 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 6.16 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.16=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.28% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.28%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.16=100%
2) x=0.28%
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:
6.16/x=100%/0.28%
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 0.28% of 6.16

6.16/x=100/0.28
(6.16/x)*x=(100/0.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.16=357.14285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (357.14285714286) to get x
6.16/357.14285714286=x
0.017248=x
x=0.017248

now we have:
0.28% of 6.16=0.017248
