What is 0.002 percent of 750000000 - 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 750000000 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 750000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 750000000=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) 750000000=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:
750000000/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 750000000

750000000/x=100/0.002
(750000000/x)*x=(100/0.002)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
750000000=50000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50000) to get x
750000000/50000=x
15000=x
x=15000

now we have:
0.002% of 750000000=15000
