What is 5001 percent of 0.8 - 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 0.8 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 0.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5001% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5001%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.8=100%
2) x=5001%
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:
0.8/x=100%/5001%
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 5001% of 0.8

0.8/x=100/5001
(0.8/x)*x=(100/5001)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.8=0.01999600079984*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.01999600079984) to get x
0.8/0.01999600079984=x
40.008=x
x=40.008

now we have:
5001% of 0.8=40.008
