What is 0.00038 percent of 450000 - 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 450000 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 450000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 450000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.00038% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.00038%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 450000=100%
2) x=0.00038%
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:
450000/x=100%/0.00038%
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 0.00038% of 450000

450000/x=100/0.00038
(450000/x)*x=(100/0.00038)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
450000=263157.89473684*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (263157.89473684) to get x
450000/263157.89473684=x
1.71=x
x=1.71

now we have:
0.00038% of 450000=1.71
