What is 0.374 percent of 21.875 - 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 21.875 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 21.875 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21.875=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.374% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.374%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21.875=100%
2) x=0.374%
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:
21.875/x=100%/0.374%
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 0.374% of 21.875

21.875/x=100/0.374
(21.875/x)*x=(100/0.374)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21.875=267.37967914439*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (267.37967914439) to get x
21.875/267.37967914439=x
0.0818125=x
x=0.0818125

now we have:
0.374% of 21.875=0.0818125
