What is 0.81 percent of 284 - 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 284 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 284 is 100%, so we can write it down as 284=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.81%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 284=100%
2) x=0.81%
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:
284/x=100%/0.81%
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 0.81% of 284

284/x=100/0.81
(284/x)*x=(100/0.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
284=123.45679012346*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (123.45679012346) to get x
284/123.45679012346=x
2.3004=x
x=2.3004

now we have:
0.81% of 284=2.3004
