What is 0.37 percent of 550000000 - 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 550000000 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 550000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 550000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.37% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.37%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 550000000=100%
2) x=0.37%
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:
550000000/x=100%/0.37%
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 0.37% of 550000000

550000000/x=100/0.37
(550000000/x)*x=(100/0.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
550000000=270.27027027027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (270.27027027027) to get x
550000000/270.27027027027=x
2035000=x
x=2035000

now we have:
0.37% of 550000000=2035000
