What is 0.546 percent of 1836 - 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 1836 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 1836 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1836=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.546% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.546%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1836=100%
2) x=0.546%
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:
1836/x=100%/0.546%
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 0.546% of 1836

1836/x=100/0.546
(1836/x)*x=(100/0.546)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1836=183.15018315018*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (183.15018315018) to get x
1836/183.15018315018=x
10.02456=x
x=10.02456

now we have:
0.546% of 1836=10.02456
