What is 0.238 percent of 56900 - 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 56900 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 56900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 56900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.238% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.238%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 56900=100%
2) x=0.238%
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:
56900/x=100%/0.238%
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 0.238% of 56900

56900/x=100/0.238
(56900/x)*x=(100/0.238)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
56900=420.16806722689*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (420.16806722689) to get x
56900/420.16806722689=x
135.422=x
x=135.422

now we have:
0.238% of 56900=135.422
