What is 0.39 percent of 8.97 - 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 8.97 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 8.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.39% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.39%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.97=100%
2) x=0.39%
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:
8.97/x=100%/0.39%
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 0.39% of 8.97

8.97/x=100/0.39
(8.97/x)*x=(100/0.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.97=256.41025641026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (256.41025641026) to get x
8.97/256.41025641026=x
0.034983=x
x=0.034983

now we have:
0.39% of 8.97=0.034983
