What is 0.24 percent of 1800 - 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 1800 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 1800 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1800=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1800=100%
2) x=0.24%
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:
1800/x=100%/0.24%
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 0.24% of 1800

1800/x=100/0.24
(1800/x)*x=(100/0.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1800=416.66666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (416.66666666667) to get x
1800/416.66666666667=x
4.32=x
x=4.32

now we have:
0.24% of 1800=4.32
