What is 0.56 percent of 360 - 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 360 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 360 is 100%, so we can write it down as 360=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 360=100%
2) x=0.56%
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:
360/x=100%/0.56%
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 0.56% of 360

360/x=100/0.56
(360/x)*x=(100/0.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
360=178.57142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (178.57142857143) to get x
360/178.57142857143=x
2.016=x
x=2.016

now we have:
0.56% of 360=2.016
