What is 0.45 percent of 590 - 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 590 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 590 is 100%, so we can write it down as 590=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 590=100%
2) x=0.45%
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:
590/x=100%/0.45%
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 0.45% of 590

590/x=100/0.45
(590/x)*x=(100/0.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
590=222.22222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (222.22222222222) to get x
590/222.22222222222=x
2.655=x
x=2.655

now we have:
0.45% of 590=2.655
