What is 0.012 percent of 20600 - 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 20600 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 20600 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20600=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.012% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.012%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20600=100%
2) x=0.012%
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:
20600/x=100%/0.012%
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 0.012% of 20600

20600/x=100/0.012
(20600/x)*x=(100/0.012)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20600=8333.33333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8333.33333333) to get x
20600/8333.33333333=x
2.472=x
x=2.472

now we have:
0.012% of 20600=2.472
