What is 0.72 percent of 0.65 - 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 0.65 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 0.65 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.65=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.65=100%
2) x=0.72%
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:
0.65/x=100%/0.72%
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 0.72% of 0.65

0.65/x=100/0.72
(0.65/x)*x=(100/0.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.65=138.88888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (138.88888888889) to get x
0.65/138.88888888889=x
0.00468=x
x=0.00468

now we have:
0.72% of 0.65=0.00468
