What is 0.138 percent of 0.127 - 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 0.127 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 0.127 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.127=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.138% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.138%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.127=100%
2) x=0.138%
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:
0.127/x=100%/0.138%
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 0.138% of 0.127

0.127/x=100/0.138
(0.127/x)*x=(100/0.138)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.127=724.63768115942*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (724.63768115942) to get x
0.127/724.63768115942=x
0.00017526=x
x=0.00017526

now we have:
0.138% of 0.127=0.00017526
