What is 0.00155 percent of 1550 - 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 1550 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 1550 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1550=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.00155% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.00155%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1550=100%
2) x=0.00155%
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:
1550/x=100%/0.00155%
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 0.00155% of 1550

1550/x=100/0.00155
(1550/x)*x=(100/0.00155)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1550=64516.129032258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (64516.129032258) to get x
1550/64516.129032258=x
0.024025=x
x=0.024025

now we have:
0.00155% of 1550=0.024025
