What is 0.32 percent of 254.37 - 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 254.37 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 254.37 is 100%, so we can write it down as 254.37=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.32% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.32%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 254.37=100%
2) x=0.32%
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:
254.37/x=100%/0.32%
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 0.32% of 254.37

254.37/x=100/0.32
(254.37/x)*x=(100/0.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
254.37=312.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (312.5) to get x
254.37/312.5=x
0.813984=x
x=0.813984

now we have:
0.32% of 254.37=0.813984
