What is 0.0059 percent of 36857.6 - 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 36857.6 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 36857.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 36857.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0059% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0059%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 36857.6=100%
2) x=0.0059%
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:
36857.6/x=100%/0.0059%
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 0.0059% of 36857.6

36857.6/x=100/0.0059
