What is 0.425 percent of 265000 - 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 265000 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 265000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 265000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.425% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.425%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 265000=100%
2) x=0.425%
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:
265000/x=100%/0.425%
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 0.425% of 265000

265000/x=100/0.425
(265000/x)*x=(100/0.425)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
265000=235.29411764706*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (235.29411764706) to get x
265000/235.29411764706=x
1126.25=x
x=1126.25

now we have:
0.425% of 265000=1126.25
