What is 0.016 percent of 28747 - 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 28747 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 28747 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28747=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.016% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.016%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28747=100%
2) x=0.016%
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:
28747/x=100%/0.016%
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 0.016% of 28747

28747/x=100/0.016
(28747/x)*x=(100/0.016)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28747=6250*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6250) to get x
28747/6250=x
4.59952=x
x=4.59952

now we have:
0.016% of 28747=4.59952
