What is 0.0006 percent of 2850000 - 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 2850000 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 2850000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2850000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0006% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0006%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2850000=100%
2) x=0.0006%
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:
2850000/x=100%/0.0006%
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 0.0006% of 2850000

2850000/x=100/0.0006
(2850000/x)*x=(100/0.0006)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2850000=166666.66666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (166666.66666667) to get x
2850000/166666.66666667=x
17.1=x
x=17.1

now we have:
0.0006% of 2850000=17.1
