What is 0.022 percent of 10721 - 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 10721 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 10721 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10721=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.022% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.022%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10721=100%
2) x=0.022%
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:
10721/x=100%/0.022%
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 0.022% of 10721

10721/x=100/0.022
(10721/x)*x=(100/0.022)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10721=4545.4545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4545.4545454545) to get x
10721/4545.4545454545=x
2.35862=x
x=2.35862

now we have:
0.022% of 10721=2.35862
