What is 0.09 percent of 3 - 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 3 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 3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.09% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.09%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3=100%
2) x=0.09%
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:
3/x=100%/0.09%
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 0.09% of 3

3/x=100/0.09
(3/x)*x=(100/0.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3=1111.1111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1111.1111111111) to get x
3/1111.1111111111=x
0.0027=x
x=0.0027

now we have:
0.09% of 3=0.0027
