What is 0.002 percent of 7.6 - 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 7.6 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 7.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.002% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.002%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.6=100%
2) x=0.002%
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:
7.6/x=100%/0.002%
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 0.002% of 7.6

7.6/x=100/0.002
(7.6/x)*x=(100/0.002)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.6=50000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50000) to get x
7.6/50000=x
0.000152=x
x=0.000152

now we have:
0.002% of 7.6=0.000152
