What is 0.28 percent of 1358 - 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 1358 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 1358 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1358=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.28% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.28%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1358=100%
2) x=0.28%
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:
1358/x=100%/0.28%
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 0.28% of 1358

1358/x=100/0.28
(1358/x)*x=(100/0.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1358=357.14285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (357.14285714286) to get x
1358/357.14285714286=x
3.8024=x
x=3.8024

now we have:
0.28% of 1358=3.8024
