What is 0.88 percent of 282.62 - 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 282.62 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 282.62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 282.62=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) 282.62=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:
282.62/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 282.62

282.62/x=100/0.88
(282.62/x)*x=(100/0.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
282.62=113.63636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (113.63636363636) to get x
282.62/113.63636363636=x
2.487056=x
x=2.487056

now we have:
0.88% of 282.62=2.487056
