What is 0.8 percent of 1833.33 - 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 1833.33 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 1833.33 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1833.33=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1833.33=100%
2) x=0.8%
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:
1833.33/x=100%/0.8%
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 0.8% of 1833.33

1833.33/x=100/0.8
(1833.33/x)*x=(100/0.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1833.33=125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (125) to get x
1833.33/125=x
14.66664=x
x=14.66664

now we have:
0.8% of 1833.33=14.66664
