What is 18000 percent of 0.28 - 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 0.28 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 0.28 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.28=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.28=100%
2) x=18000%
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:
0.28/x=100%/18000%
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 18000% of 0.28

0.28/x=100/18000
(0.28/x)*x=(100/18000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.28=0.0055555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0055555555555556) to get x
0.28/0.0055555555555556=x
50.4=x
x=50.4

now we have:
18000% of 0.28=50.4
