What is 0.0029 percent of 0.001742 - 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 0.001742 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 0.001742 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.001742=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0029% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0029%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.001742=100%
2) x=0.0029%
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:
0.001742/x=100%/0.0029%
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 0.0029% of 0.001742

0.001742/x=100/0.0029
(0.001742/x)*x=(100/0.0029)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.001742=34482.75862069*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34482.75862069) to get x
0.001742/34482.75862069=x
5.0518E-8=x
x=5.0518E-8

now we have:
0.0029% of 0.001742=5.0518E-8
