What is 0.1 percent of 98368 - 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 98368 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 98368 is 100%, so we can write it down as 98368=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 98368=100%
2) x=0.1%
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:
98368/x=100%/0.1%
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 0.1% of 98368

98368/x=100/0.1
(98368/x)*x=(100/0.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
98368=1000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1000) to get x
98368/1000=x
98.368=x
x=98.368

now we have:
0.1% of 98368=98.368
