What is 0.14 percent of 378 - 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 378 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 378 is 100%, so we can write it down as 378=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) 378=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:
378/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 378

378/x=100/0.14
(378/x)*x=(100/0.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
378=714.285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (714.285714286) to get x
378/714.285714286=x
0.5292=x
x=0.5292

now we have:
0.14% of 378=0.5292
