What is 0.35 percent of 15.96 - 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 15.96 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 15.96 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.96=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.96=100%
2) x=0.35%
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:
15.96/x=100%/0.35%
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 0.35% of 15.96

15.96/x=100/0.35
(15.96/x)*x=(100/0.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.96=285.71428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (285.71428571429) to get x
15.96/285.71428571429=x
0.05586=x
x=0.05586

now we have:
0.35% of 15.96=0.05586
