What is 1.6E-6 percent of 187200000 - 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 187200000 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 187200000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 187200000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.6E-6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.6E-6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 187200000=100%
2) x=1.6E-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:
187200000/x=100%/1.6E-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 1.6E-6% of 187200000

187200000/x=100/1.6E-6
(187200000/x)*x=(100/1.6E-6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
187200000=62500000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62500000) to get x
187200000/62500000=x
2.9952=x
x=2.9952

now we have:
1.6E-6% of 187200000=2.9952
