What is 0.033 percent of 1500000 - 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 1500000 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 1500000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1500000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.033% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.033%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1500000=100%
2) x=0.033%
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:
1500000/x=100%/0.033%
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 0.033% of 1500000

1500000/x=100/0.033
(1500000/x)*x=(100/0.033)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1500000=3030.303030303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3030.303030303) to get x
1500000/3030.303030303=x
495=x
x=495

now we have:
0.033% of 1500000=495
