What is 0.05 percent of 13938 - 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 13938 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 13938 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13938=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.05% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.05%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13938=100%
2) x=0.05%
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:
13938/x=100%/0.05%
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 0.05% of 13938

13938/x=100/0.05
(13938/x)*x=(100/0.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13938=2000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2000) to get x
13938/2000=x
6.969=x
x=6.969

now we have:
0.05% of 13938=6.969
