What is 0.077 percent of 2.885 - 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 2.885 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 2.885 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.885=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.077% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.077%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.885=100%
2) x=0.077%
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:
2.885/x=100%/0.077%
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 0.077% of 2.885

2.885/x=100/0.077
(2.885/x)*x=(100/0.077)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.885=1298.7012987013*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1298.7012987013) to get x
2.885/1298.7012987013=x
0.00222145=x
x=0.00222145

now we have:
0.077% of 2.885=0.00222145
