What is 0.282 percent of 3500 - 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 3500 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 3500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.282% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.282%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3500=100%
2) x=0.282%
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:
3500/x=100%/0.282%
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 0.282% of 3500

3500/x=100/0.282
(3500/x)*x=(100/0.282)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3500=354.60992907801*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (354.60992907801) to get x
3500/354.60992907801=x
9.87=x
x=9.87

now we have:
0.282% of 3500=9.87
