What is 0.065 percent of 4.872 - 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 4.872 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 4.872 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.872=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.065% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.065%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.872=100%
2) x=0.065%
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:
4.872/x=100%/0.065%
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 0.065% of 4.872

4.872/x=100/0.065
(4.872/x)*x=(100/0.065)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.872=1538.4615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1538.4615384615) to get x
4.872/1538.4615384615=x
0.0031668=x
x=0.0031668

now we have:
0.065% of 4.872=0.0031668
