What is 0.154 percent of 0.218 - 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 0.218 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 0.218 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.218=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.154% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.154%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.218=100%
2) x=0.154%
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:
0.218/x=100%/0.154%
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 0.154% of 0.218

0.218/x=100/0.154
(0.218/x)*x=(100/0.154)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.218=649.35064935065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (649.35064935065) to get x
0.218/649.35064935065=x
0.00033572=x
x=0.00033572

now we have:
0.154% of 0.218=0.00033572
