What is 0.859 percent of 248000 - 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 248000 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 248000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 248000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.859% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.859%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 248000=100%
2) x=0.859%
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:
248000/x=100%/0.859%
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 0.859% of 248000

248000/x=100/0.859
(248000/x)*x=(100/0.859)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
248000=116.41443538999*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (116.41443538999) to get x
248000/116.41443538999=x
2130.32=x
x=2130.32

now we have:
0.859% of 248000=2130.32
