What is 0.8 percent of 328.239 - 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 328.239 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 328.239 is 100%, so we can write it down as 328.239=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) 328.239=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:
328.239/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 328.239

328.239/x=100/0.8
(328.239/x)*x=(100/0.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
328.239=125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (125) to get x
328.239/125=x
2.625912=x
x=2.625912

now we have:
0.8% of 328.239=2.625912
