What is 0.525 percent of 164 - 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 164 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 164 is 100%, so we can write it down as 164=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.525% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.525%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 164=100%
2) x=0.525%
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:
164/x=100%/0.525%
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 0.525% of 164

164/x=100/0.525
(164/x)*x=(100/0.525)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
164=190.47619047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (190.47619047619) to get x
164/190.47619047619=x
0.861=x
x=0.861

now we have:
0.525% of 164=0.861
