What is 0.36 percent of 298 - 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 298 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 298 is 100%, so we can write it down as 298=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 298=100%
2) x=0.36%
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:
298/x=100%/0.36%
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 0.36% of 298

298/x=100/0.36
(298/x)*x=(100/0.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
298=277.77777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (277.77777777778) to get x
298/277.77777777778=x
1.0728=x
x=1.0728

now we have:
0.36% of 298=1.0728
