What is 0.57 percent of 446 - 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 446 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 446 is 100%, so we can write it down as 446=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.57% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.57%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 446=100%
2) x=0.57%
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:
446/x=100%/0.57%
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 0.57% of 446

446/x=100/0.57
(446/x)*x=(100/0.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
446=175.43859649123*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (175.43859649123) to get x
446/175.43859649123=x
2.5422=x
x=2.5422

now we have:
0.57% of 446=2.5422
