What is 0.57142 percent of 175 - 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 175 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 175 is 100%, so we can write it down as 175=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.57142% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.57142%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 175=100%
2) x=0.57142%
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:
175/x=100%/0.57142%
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 0.57142% of 175

175/x=100/0.57142
(175/x)*x=(100/0.57142)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
175=175.00262503938*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (175.00262503938) to get x
175/175.00262503938=x
0.999985=x
x=0.999985

now we have:
0.57142% of 175=0.999985
