What is 0.14 percent of 212000 - 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 212000 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 212000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 212000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.14% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.14%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 212000=100%
2) x=0.14%
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:
212000/x=100%/0.14%
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 0.14% of 212000

212000/x=100/0.14
(212000/x)*x=(100/0.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
212000=714.28571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (714.28571428571) to get x
212000/714.28571428571=x
296.8=x
x=296.8

now we have:
0.14% of 212000=296.8
