What is 0.056 percent of 3174 - 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 3174 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 3174 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3174=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.056% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.056%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3174=100%
2) x=0.056%
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:
3174/x=100%/0.056%
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 0.056% of 3174

3174/x=100/0.056
(3174/x)*x=(100/0.056)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3174=1785.7142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1785.7142857143) to get x
3174/1785.7142857143=x
1.77744=x
x=1.77744

now we have:
0.056% of 3174=1.77744
