What is 0.308 percent of 0.879 - 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 0.879 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 0.879 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.879=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.308% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.308%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.879=100%
2) x=0.308%
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:
0.879/x=100%/0.308%
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 0.308% of 0.879

0.879/x=100/0.308
(0.879/x)*x=(100/0.308)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.879=324.67532467532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (324.67532467532) to get x
0.879/324.67532467532=x
0.00270732=x
x=0.00270732

now we have:
0.308% of 0.879=0.00270732
