What is 0.578 percent of 1000 - 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 1000 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 1000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.578% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.578%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1000=100%
2) x=0.578%
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:
1000/x=100%/0.578%
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 0.578% of 1000

1000/x=100/0.578
(1000/x)*x=(100/0.578)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1000=173.01038062284*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (173.01038062284) to get x
1000/173.01038062284=x
5.78=x
x=5.78

now we have:
0.578% of 1000=5.78
