What is 0.3 percent of 1396 - 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 1396 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 1396 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1396=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1396=100%
2) x=0.3%
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:
1396/x=100%/0.3%
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 0.3% of 1396

1396/x=100/0.3
(1396/x)*x=(100/0.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1396=333.33333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (333.33333333333) to get x
1396/333.33333333333=x
4.188=x
x=4.188

now we have:
0.3% of 1396=4.188
