What is 0.581 percent of 0.889 - 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 0.889 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 0.889 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.889=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.581% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.581%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.889=100%
2) x=0.581%
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:
0.889/x=100%/0.581%
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 0.581% of 0.889

0.889/x=100/0.581
(0.889/x)*x=(100/0.581)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.889=172.11703958692*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (172.11703958692) to get x
0.889/172.11703958692=x
0.00516509=x
x=0.00516509

now we have:
0.581% of 0.889=0.00516509
