What is 0.18 percent of 100000 - 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 100000 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 100000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100000=100%
2) x=0.18%
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:
100000/x=100%/0.18%
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 0.18% of 100000

100000/x=100/0.18
(100000/x)*x=(100/0.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100000=555.55555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (555.55555555556) to get x
100000/555.55555555556=x
180=x
x=180

now we have:
0.18% of 100000=180
