What is 0.037 percent of 700 - 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 700 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 700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.037% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.037%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 700=100%
2) x=0.037%
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:
700/x=100%/0.037%
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 0.037% of 700

700/x=100/0.037
(700/x)*x=(100/0.037)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
700=2702.7027027027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2702.7027027027) to get x
700/2702.7027027027=x
0.259=x
x=0.259

now we have:
0.037% of 700=0.259
