What is 1.38 percent of 1090000 - 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 1090000 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 1090000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1090000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1090000=100%
2) x=1.38%
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:
1090000/x=100%/1.38%
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 1.38% of 1090000

1090000/x=100/1.38
(1090000/x)*x=(100/1.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1090000=72.463768115942*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (72.463768115942) to get x
1090000/72.463768115942=x
15042=x
x=15042

now we have:
1.38% of 1090000=15042
