What is 0.16 percent of 8.3 - 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 8.3 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 8.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.3=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) 8.3=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:
8.3/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 8.3

8.3/x=100/0.16
(8.3/x)*x=(100/0.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.3=625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (625) to get x
8.3/625=x
0.01328=x
x=0.01328

now we have:
0.16% of 8.3=0.01328
