What is 0.064 percent of 23865 - 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 23865 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 23865 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23865=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.064% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.064%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23865=100%
2) x=0.064%
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:
23865/x=100%/0.064%
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 0.064% of 23865

23865/x=100/0.064
(23865/x)*x=(100/0.064)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23865=1562.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1562.5) to get x
23865/1562.5=x
15.2736=x
x=15.2736

now we have:
0.064% of 23865=15.2736
