What is 0.0833 percent of 72 - 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 72 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 72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 72=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0833% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0833%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 72=100%
2) x=0.0833%
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:
72/x=100%/0.0833%
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 0.0833% of 72

72/x=100/0.0833
(72/x)*x=(100/0.0833)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
72=1200.4801920768*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1200.4801920768) to get x
72/1200.4801920768=x
0.059976=x
x=0.059976

now we have:
0.0833% of 72=0.059976
