What is 0.06 percent of 2640 - 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 2640 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 2640 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2640=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.06% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.06%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2640=100%
2) x=0.06%
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:
2640/x=100%/0.06%
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 0.06% of 2640

2640/x=100/0.06
(2640/x)*x=(100/0.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2640=1666.6666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1666.6666666667) to get x
2640/1666.6666666667=x
1.584=x
x=1.584

now we have:
0.06% of 2640=1.584
