What is 0.19 percent of 260 - 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 260 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 260 is 100%, so we can write it down as 260=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.19% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.19%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 260=100%
2) x=0.19%
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:
260/x=100%/0.19%
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 0.19% of 260

260/x=100/0.19
(260/x)*x=(100/0.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
260=526.31578947368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (526.31578947368) to get x
260/526.31578947368=x
0.494=x
x=0.494

now we have:
0.19% of 260=0.494
