What is 0.46 percent of 1300 - 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 1300 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 1300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.46% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.46%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1300=100%
2) x=0.46%
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:
1300/x=100%/0.46%
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 0.46% of 1300

1300/x=100/0.46
(1300/x)*x=(100/0.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1300=217.39130434783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (217.39130434783) to get x
1300/217.39130434783=x
5.98=x
x=5.98

now we have:
0.46% of 1300=5.98
