What is 0.00012 percent of 850000 - 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 850000 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 850000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 850000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.00012% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.00012%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 850000=100%
2) x=0.00012%
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:
850000/x=100%/0.00012%
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 0.00012% of 850000

850000/x=100/0.00012
(850000/x)*x=(100/0.00012)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
850000=833333.33333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (833333.33333333) to get x
850000/833333.33333333=x
1.02=x
x=1.02

now we have:
0.00012% of 850000=1.02
