What is 0.0758 percent of 3955 - 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 3955 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 3955 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3955=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0758% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0758%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3955=100%
2) x=0.0758%
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:
3955/x=100%/0.0758%
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 0.0758% of 3955

3955/x=100/0.0758
(3955/x)*x=(100/0.0758)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3955=1319.2612137203*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1319.2612137203) to get x
3955/1319.2612137203=x
2.99789=x
x=2.99789

now we have:
0.0758% of 3955=2.99789
