What is 0.0075 percent of 254992 - 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 254992 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 254992 is 100%, so we can write it down as 254992=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0075% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0075%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 254992=100%
2) x=0.0075%
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:
254992/x=100%/0.0075%
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 0.0075% of 254992

254992/x=100/0.0075
(254992/x)*x=(100/0.0075)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
254992=13333.333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13333.333333333) to get x
254992/13333.333333333=x
19.1244=x
x=19.1244

now we have:
