What is 0.01 percent of 177000 - 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 177000 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 177000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 177000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.01% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.01%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 177000=100%
2) x=0.01%
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:
177000/x=100%/0.01%
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 0.01% of 177000

177000/x=100/0.01
(177000/x)*x=(100/0.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
177000=10000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10000) to get x
177000/10000=x
17.7=x
x=17.7

now we have:
0.01% of 177000=17.7
