What is 0.6 percent of 0.8 - 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 0.8 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 0.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.8=100%
2) x=0.6%
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:
0.8/x=100%/0.6%
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 0.6% of 0.8

0.8/x=100/0.6
(0.8/x)*x=(100/0.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.8=166.66666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (166.66666666667) to get x
0.8/166.66666666667=x
0.0048=x
x=0.0048

now we have:
0.6% of 0.8=0.0048
