What is 0.31 percent of 2583 - 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 2583 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 2583 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2583=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2583=100%
2) x=0.31%
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:
2583/x=100%/0.31%
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 0.31% of 2583

2583/x=100/0.31
(2583/x)*x=(100/0.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2583=322.58064516129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (322.58064516129) to get x
2583/322.58064516129=x
8.0073=x
x=8.0073

now we have:
0.31% of 2583=8.0073
