What is 0.042803 percent of 21500 - 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 21500 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 21500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.042803% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.042803%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21500=100%
2) x=0.042803%
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:
21500/x=100%/0.042803%
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 0.042803% of 21500

21500/x=100/0.042803
(21500/x)*x=(100/0.042803)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21500=2336.2848398477*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2336.2848398477) to get x
21500/2336.2848398477=x
9.202645=x
x=9.202645

now we have:
0.042803% of 21500=9.202645
