What is 0.62 percent of 527 - 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 527 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 527 is 100%, so we can write it down as 527=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.62% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.62%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 527=100%
2) x=0.62%
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:
527/x=100%/0.62%
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 0.62% of 527

527/x=100/0.62
(527/x)*x=(100/0.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
527=161.29032258065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (161.29032258065) to get x
527/161.29032258065=x
3.2674=x
x=3.2674

now we have:
0.62% of 527=3.2674
