What is 2.4E-5 percent of 0.00037 - 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 0.00037 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 0.00037 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.00037=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.4E-5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.4E-5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.00037=100%
2) x=2.4E-5%
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:
0.00037/x=100%/2.4E-5%
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 2.4E-5% of 0.00037

0.00037/x=100/2.4E-5
(0.00037/x)*x=(100/2.4E-5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.00037=4166666.6666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4166666.6666667) to get x
0.00037/4166666.6666667=x
8.88E-11=x
x=8.88E-11

now we have:
2.4E-5% of 0.00037=8.88E-11
