What is 0.8 percent of 721424 - 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 721424 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 721424 is 100%, so we can write it down as 721424=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) 721424=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:
721424/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 721424

721424/x=100/0.8
(721424/x)*x=(100/0.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
721424=125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (125) to get x
721424/125=x
5771.392=x
x=5771.392

now we have:
0.8% of 721424=5771.392
