What is 0.08 percent of 62515 - 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 62515 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 62515 is 100%, so we can write it down as 62515=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.08% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.08%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 62515=100%
2) x=0.08%
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:
62515/x=100%/0.08%
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 0.08% of 62515

62515/x=100/0.08
(62515/x)*x=(100/0.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
62515=1250*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1250) to get x
62515/1250=x
50.012=x
x=50.012

now we have:
0.08% of 62515=50.012
