What is 0.286 percent of 7500 - 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 7500 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 7500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.286% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.286%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7500=100%
2) x=0.286%
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:
7500/x=100%/0.286%
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 0.286% of 7500

7500/x=100/0.286
(7500/x)*x=(100/0.286)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7500=349.65034965035*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (349.65034965035) to get x
7500/349.65034965035=x
21.45=x
x=21.45

now we have:
0.286% of 7500=21.45
