What is 0.0012 percent of 0.99999 - 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 0.99999 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 0.99999 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.99999=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0012% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0012%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.99999=100%
2) x=0.0012%
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:
0.99999/x=100%/0.0012%
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 0.0012% of 0.99999

0.99999/x=100/0.0012
(0.99999/x)*x=(100/0.0012)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.99999=83333.333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (83333.333333333) to get x
0.99999/83333.333333333=x
1.199988E-5=x
x=1.199988E-5

now we have:
0.0012% of 0.99999=1.199988E-5
