What is 0.062 percent of 300000 - 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 300000 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 300000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 300000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.062% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.062%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 300000=100%
2) x=0.062%
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:
300000/x=100%/0.062%
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 0.062% of 300000

300000/x=100/0.062
(300000/x)*x=(100/0.062)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
300000=1612.9032258065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1612.9032258065) to get x
300000/1612.9032258065=x
186=x
x=186

now we have:
0.062% of 300000=186
