What is 1.66666 percent of 3000 - 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 3000 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 3000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.66666% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.66666%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3000=100%
2) x=1.66666%
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:
3000/x=100%/1.66666%
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 1.66666% of 3000

3000/x=100/1.66666
(3000/x)*x=(100/1.66666)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3000=60.00024000096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (60.00024000096) to get x
3000/60.00024000096=x
49.9998=x
x=49.9998

now we have:
1.66666% of 3000=49.9998
