What is 0.299 percent of 703 - 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 703 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 703 is 100%, so we can write it down as 703=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.299% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.299%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 703=100%
2) x=0.299%
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:
703/x=100%/0.299%
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 0.299% of 703

703/x=100/0.299
(703/x)*x=(100/0.299)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
703=334.44816053512*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (334.44816053512) to get x
703/334.44816053512=x
2.10197=x
x=2.10197

now we have:
0.299% of 703=2.10197
