What is 0.72 percent of 30 - 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 30 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 30 is 100%, so we can write it down as 30=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) 30=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:
30/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 30

30/x=100/0.72
(30/x)*x=(100/0.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
30=138.88888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (138.88888888889) to get x
30/138.88888888889=x
0.216=x
x=0.216

now we have:
0.72% of 30=0.216
