What is 0.038 percent of 835 - 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 835 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 835 is 100%, so we can write it down as 835=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.038% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.038%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 835=100%
2) x=0.038%
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:
835/x=100%/0.038%
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 0.038% of 835

835/x=100/0.038
(835/x)*x=(100/0.038)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
835=2631.5789473684*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2631.5789473684) to get x
835/2631.5789473684=x
0.3173=x
x=0.3173

now we have:
0.038% of 835=0.3173
