What is 0.026 percent of 3500 - 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 3500 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 3500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.026% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.026%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3500=100%
2) x=0.026%
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:
3500/x=100%/0.026%
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 0.026% of 3500

3500/x=100/0.026
(3500/x)*x=(100/0.026)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3500=3846.1538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3846.1538461538) to get x
3500/3846.1538461538=x
0.91=x
x=0.91

now we have:
0.026% of 3500=0.91
