What is 0.5 percent of 326.474 - 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 326.474 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 326.474 is 100%, so we can write it down as 326.474=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 326.474=100%
2) x=0.5%
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:
326.474/x=100%/0.5%
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 0.5% of 326.474

326.474/x=100/0.5
(326.474/x)*x=(100/0.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
326.474=200*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (200) to get x
326.474/200=x
1.63237=x
x=1.63237

now we have:
0.5% of 326.474=1.63237
