What is 0.003 percent of 465000 - 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 465000 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 465000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 465000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.003% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.003%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 465000=100%
2) x=0.003%
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:
465000/x=100%/0.003%
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 0.003% of 465000

465000/x=100/0.003
(465000/x)*x=(100/0.003)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
465000=33333.333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33333.333333333) to get x
465000/33333.333333333=x
13.95=x
x=13.95

now we have:
0.003% of 465000=13.95
