What is 0.187 percent of 8 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.187% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.187%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8=100%
2) x=0.187%
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/x=100%/0.187%
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 0.187% of 8

8/x=100/0.187
(8/x)*x=(100/0.187)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8=534.75935828877*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (534.75935828877) to get x
8/534.75935828877=x
0.01496=x
x=0.01496

now we have:
0.187% of 8=0.01496
