What is 0.33 percent of 420000 - 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 420000 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 420000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 420000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 420000=100%
2) x=0.33%
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:
420000/x=100%/0.33%
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 0.33% of 420000

420000/x=100/0.33
(420000/x)*x=(100/0.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
420000=303.0303030303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (303.0303030303) to get x
420000/303.0303030303=x
1386=x
x=1386

now we have:
0.33% of 420000=1386
