What is 0.001 percent of 166000000 - 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 166000000 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 166000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 166000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.001% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.001%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 166000000=100%
2) x=0.001%
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:
166000000/x=100%/0.001%
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 0.001% of 166000000

166000000/x=100/0.001
(166000000/x)*x=(100/0.001)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
166000000=100000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (100000) to get x
166000000/100000=x
1660=x
x=1660

now we have:
0.001% of 166000000=1660
