What is 0.553 percent of 0.47 - 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 0.47 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 0.47 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.553% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.553%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.47=100%
2) x=0.553%
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:
0.47/x=100%/0.553%
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 0.553% of 0.47

0.47/x=100/0.553
(0.47/x)*x=(100/0.553)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.47=180.83182640145*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (180.83182640145) to get x
0.47/180.83182640145=x
0.0025991=x
x=0.0025991

now we have:
0.553% of 0.47=0.0025991
