What is 0.006 percent of 16000 - 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 16000 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 16000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.006% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.006%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16000=100%
2) x=0.006%
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:
16000/x=100%/0.006%
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 0.006% of 16000

16000/x=100/0.006
(16000/x)*x=(100/0.006)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16000=16666.666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16666.666666667) to get x
16000/16666.666666667=x
0.96=x
x=0.96

now we have:
0.006% of 16000=0.96
