What is 0.0008 percent of 405600 - 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 405600 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 405600 is 100%, so we can write it down as 405600=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0008% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0008%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 405600=100%
2) x=0.0008%
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:
405600/x=100%/0.0008%
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 0.0008% of 405600

405600/x=100/0.0008
(405600/x)*x=(100/0.0008)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
405600=125000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (125000) to get x
405600/125000=x
3.2448=x
x=3.2448

now we have:
0.0008% of 405600=3.2448
