What is 0.64 percent of 1.6 - 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 1.6 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 1.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.64% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.64%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.6=100%
2) x=0.64%
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:
1.6/x=100%/0.64%
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 0.64% of 1.6

1.6/x=100/0.64
(1.6/x)*x=(100/0.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.6=156.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (156.25) to get x
1.6/156.25=x
0.01024=x
x=0.01024

now we have:
0.64% of 1.6=0.01024
