What is 0.162 percent of 0.864 - 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 0.864 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 0.864 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.864=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.162% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.162%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.864=100%
2) x=0.162%
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:
0.864/x=100%/0.162%
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 0.162% of 0.864

0.864/x=100/0.162
(0.864/x)*x=(100/0.162)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.864=617.28395061728*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (617.28395061728) to get x
0.864/617.28395061728=x
0.00139968=x
x=0.00139968

now we have:
0.162% of 0.864=0.00139968
