What is 146000 percent of 0.0025 - 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 0.0025 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 0.0025 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.0025=100%.
4. We know, that x is 146000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=146000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.0025=100%
2) x=146000%
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:
0.0025/x=100%/146000%
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 146000% of 0.0025

0.0025/x=100/146000
(0.0025/x)*x=(100/146000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.0025=0.00068493150684932*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00068493150684932) to get x
0.0025/0.00068493150684932=x
3.65=x
x=3.65

now we have:
146000% of 0.0025=3.65
