What is 0.124 percent of 578 - 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 578 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 578 is 100%, so we can write it down as 578=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.124% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.124%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 578=100%
2) x=0.124%
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:
578/x=100%/0.124%
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 0.124% of 578

578/x=100/0.124
(578/x)*x=(100/0.124)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
578=806.45161290323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (806.45161290323) to get x
578/806.45161290323=x
0.71672=x
x=0.71672

now we have:
0.124% of 578=0.71672
