What is 0.29 percent of 80000 - 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 80000 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 80000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 80000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.29% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.29%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 80000=100%
2) x=0.29%
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:
80000/x=100%/0.29%
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 0.29% of 80000

80000/x=100/0.29
(80000/x)*x=(100/0.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
80000=344.8275862069*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (344.8275862069) to get x
80000/344.8275862069=x
232=x
x=232

now we have:
0.29% of 80000=232
