What is 8011 percent of 0.5 - 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 0.5 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 0.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8011% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8011%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.5=100%
2) x=8011%
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:
0.5/x=100%/8011%
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 8011% of 0.5

0.5/x=100/8011
(0.5/x)*x=(100/8011)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.5=0.012482836100362*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.012482836100362) to get x
0.5/0.012482836100362=x
40.055=x
x=40.055

now we have:
8011% of 0.5=40.055
