What is 0.88 percent of 154 - 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 154 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 154 is 100%, so we can write it down as 154=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 154=100%
2) x=0.88%
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:
154/x=100%/0.88%
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 0.88% of 154

154/x=100/0.88
(154/x)*x=(100/0.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
154=113.63636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (113.63636363636) to get x
154/113.63636363636=x
1.3552=x
x=1.3552

now we have:
0.88% of 154=1.3552
