What is 1.67 percent of 0.896 - 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 0.896 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 0.896 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.896=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.67% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.67%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.896=100%
2) x=1.67%
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:
0.896/x=100%/1.67%
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 1.67% of 0.896

0.896/x=100/1.67
(0.896/x)*x=(100/1.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.896=59.880239520958*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (59.880239520958) to get x
0.896/59.880239520958=x
0.0149632=x
x=0.0149632

now we have:
1.67% of 0.896=0.0149632
