What is 0.041 percent of 0.053 - 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 0.053 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 0.053 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.053=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.041% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.041%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.053=100%
2) x=0.041%
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:
0.053/x=100%/0.041%
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 0.041% of 0.053

0.053/x=100/0.041
(0.053/x)*x=(100/0.041)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.053=2439.0243902439*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2439.0243902439) to get x
0.053/2439.0243902439=x
2.173E-5=x
x=2.173E-5

now we have:
0.041% of 0.053=2.173E-5
