What is 0.6 percent of 25 - 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 25 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 25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25=100%
2) x=0.6%
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:
25/x=100%/0.6%
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 0.6% of 25

25/x=100/0.6
(25/x)*x=(100/0.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25=166.666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (166.666666667) to get x
25/166.666666667=x
0.15=x
x=0.15

now we have:
0.6% of 25=0.15
