What is 99.984 percent of 1.254 - 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 1.254 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 1.254 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.254=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.984% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.984%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.254=100%
2) x=99.984%
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:
1.254/x=100%/99.984%
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 99.984% of 1.254

1.254/x=100/99.984
(1.254/x)*x=(100/99.984)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.254=1.0001600256041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0001600256041) to get x
1.254/1.0001600256041=x
1.25379936=x
x=1.25379936

now we have:
99.984% of 1.254=1.25379936
