What is 0.157 percent of 5346 - 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 5346 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 5346 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5346=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.157% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.157%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5346=100%
2) x=0.157%
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:
5346/x=100%/0.157%
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 0.157% of 5346

5346/x=100/0.157
(5346/x)*x=(100/0.157)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5346=636.94267515924*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (636.94267515924) to get x
5346/636.94267515924=x
8.39322=x
x=8.39322

now we have:
0.157% of 5346=8.39322
