What is 0.076 percent of 21015 - 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 21015 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 21015 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21015=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.076% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.076%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21015=100%
2) x=0.076%
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:
21015/x=100%/0.076%
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 0.076% of 21015

21015/x=100/0.076
(21015/x)*x=(100/0.076)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21015=1315.7894736842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1315.7894736842) to get x
21015/1315.7894736842=x
15.9714=x
x=15.9714

now we have:
0.076% of 21015=15.9714
