1.4 is what percent of 8000000000 - 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 8000000000 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 100% equals 8000000000, so we can write it down as 100%=8000000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8000000000
2) x%=1.4
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:
100%/x%=8000000000/1.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.4 is what percent of 8000000000

100%/x%=8000000000/1.4
(100/x)*x=(8000000000/1.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5714285714.2857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5714285714.2857) to get x
100/5714285714.2857=x
1.75E-8=x
x=1.75E-8

now we have:
1.4 is 1.75E-8% of 8000000000
