What is 0.16 percent of 73000 - 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 73000 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 73000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 73000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 73000=100%
2) x=0.16%
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:
73000/x=100%/0.16%
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 0.16% of 73000

73000/x=100/0.16
(73000/x)*x=(100/0.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
73000=625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (625) to get x
73000/625=x
116.8=x
x=116.8

now we have:
0.16% of 73000=116.8
