What is 0.475 percent of 1280 - 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 1280 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 1280 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1280=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.475% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.475%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1280=100%
2) x=0.475%
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:
1280/x=100%/0.475%
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 0.475% of 1280

1280/x=100/0.475
(1280/x)*x=(100/0.475)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1280=210.52631578947*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (210.52631578947) to get x
1280/210.52631578947=x
6.08=x
x=6.08

now we have:
0.475% of 1280=6.08
