What is 0.00013888888888889 percent of 72 - 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 72 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 72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 72=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.00013888888888889% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.00013888888888889%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 72=100%
2) x=0.00013888888888889%
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:
72/x=100%/0.00013888888888889%
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 0.00013888888888889% of 72

72/x=100/0.00013888888888889
(72/x)*x=(100/0.00013888888888889)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
72=719999.99999999*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (719999.99999999) to get x
72/719999.99999999=x
0.0001=x
x=0.0001

now we have:
