What is 0.92 percent of 538 - 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 538 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 538 is 100%, so we can write it down as 538=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.92% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.92%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 538=100%
2) x=0.92%
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:
538/x=100%/0.92%
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 0.92% of 538

538/x=100/0.92
(538/x)*x=(100/0.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
538=108.69565217391*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (108.69565217391) to get x
538/108.69565217391=x
4.9496=x
x=4.9496

now we have:
0.92% of 538=4.9496
