What is 0.352 percent of 851.8 - 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 851.8 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 851.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 851.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.352% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.352%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 851.8=100%
2) x=0.352%
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:
851.8/x=100%/0.352%
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 0.352% of 851.8

851.8/x=100/0.352
(851.8/x)*x=(100/0.352)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
851.8=284.09090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (284.09090909091) to get x
851.8/284.09090909091=x
2.998336=x
x=2.998336

now we have:
0.352% of 851.8=2.998336
