What is 0.00175 percent of 18480 - 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 18480 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 18480 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18480=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.00175% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.00175%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18480=100%
2) x=0.00175%
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:
18480/x=100%/0.00175%
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 0.00175% of 18480

18480/x=100/0.00175
(18480/x)*x=(100/0.00175)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18480=57142.857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (57142.857142857) to get x
18480/57142.857142857=x
0.3234=x
x=0.3234

now we have:
