What is 0.4 percent of 510574 - 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 510574 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 510574 is 100%, so we can write it down as 510574=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 510574=100%
2) x=0.4%
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:
510574/x=100%/0.4%
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 0.4% of 510574

510574/x=100/0.4
(510574/x)*x=(100/0.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
510574=250*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (250) to get x
510574/250=x
2042.296=x
x=2042.296

now we have:
0.4% of 510574=2042.296
