What is 0.7 percent of 154 - 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 154 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 154 is 100%, so we can write it down as 154=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 154=100%
2) x=0.7%
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:
154/x=100%/0.7%
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 0.7% of 154

154/x=100/0.7
(154/x)*x=(100/0.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
154=142.85714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (142.85714285714) to get x
154/142.85714285714=x
1.078=x
x=1.078

now we have:
0.7% of 154=1.078
