What is 0.27 percent of 3.2 - 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 3.2 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 3.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.27% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.27%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.2=100%
2) x=0.27%
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:
3.2/x=100%/0.27%
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 0.27% of 3.2

3.2/x=100/0.27
(3.2/x)*x=(100/0.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.2=370.37037037037*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (370.37037037037) to get x
3.2/370.37037037037=x
0.00864=x
x=0.00864

now we have:
0.27% of 3.2=0.00864
