What is 1.0E-6 percent of 299792 - 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 299792 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 299792 is 100%, so we can write it down as 299792=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.0E-6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.0E-6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 299792=100%
2) x=1.0E-6%
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:
299792/x=100%/1.0E-6%
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 1.0E-6% of 299792

299792/x=100/1.0E-6
(299792/x)*x=(100/1.0E-6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
299792=100000000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (100000000) to get x
299792/100000000=x
0.00299792=x
x=0.00299792

now we have:
1.0E-6% of 299792=0.00299792
