What is 0.00028 percent of 21208 - 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 21208 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 21208 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21208=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.00028% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.00028%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21208=100%
2) x=0.00028%
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:
21208/x=100%/0.00028%
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 0.00028% of 21208

21208/x=100/0.00028
(21208/x)*x=(100/0.00028)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21208=357142.85714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (357142.85714286) to get x
21208/357142.85714286=x
0.0593824=x
x=0.0593824

now we have:
0.00028% of 21208=0.0593824
