What is 0.01 percent of 53882 - 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 53882 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 53882 is 100%, so we can write it down as 53882=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) 53882=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:
53882/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 53882

53882/x=100/0.01
(53882/x)*x=(100/0.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
53882=10000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10000) to get x
53882/10000=x
5.3882=x
x=5.3882

now we have:
0.01% of 53882=5.3882
