What is 0.5 percent of 4354 - 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 4354 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 4354 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4354=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) 4354=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:
4354/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 4354

4354/x=100/0.5
(4354/x)*x=(100/0.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4354=200*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (200) to get x
4354/200=x
21.77=x
x=21.77

now we have:
0.5% of 4354=21.77
