What is 0.03 percent of 2.54 - 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 2.54 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 2.54 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.54=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.03% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.03%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.54=100%
2) x=0.03%
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:
2.54/x=100%/0.03%
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 0.03% of 2.54

2.54/x=100/0.03
(2.54/x)*x=(100/0.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.54=3333.3333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3333.3333333333) to get x
2.54/3333.3333333333=x
0.000762=x
x=0.000762

now we have:
0.03% of 2.54=0.000762
