What is 0.035 percent of 24500 - 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 24500 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 24500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.035% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.035%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24500=100%
2) x=0.035%
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:
24500/x=100%/0.035%
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 0.035% of 24500

24500/x=100/0.035
(24500/x)*x=(100/0.035)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24500=2857.1428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2857.1428571429) to get x
24500/2857.1428571429=x
8.575=x
x=8.575

now we have:
0.035% of 24500=8.575
