What is 0.098 percent of 50000 - 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 50000 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 50000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 50000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.098% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.098%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 50000=100%
2) x=0.098%
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:
50000/x=100%/0.098%
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 0.098% of 50000

50000/x=100/0.098
(50000/x)*x=(100/0.098)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
50000=1020.4081632653*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1020.4081632653) to get x
50000/1020.4081632653=x
49=x
x=49

now we have:
0.098% of 50000=49
