1.6 is what percent of 4600000000 - 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 4600000000 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 4600000000, so we can write it down as 100%=4600000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4600000000
2) x%=1.6
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%=4600000000/1.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.6 is what percent of 4600000000

100%/x%=4600000000/1.6
(100/x)*x=(4600000000/1.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2875000000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2875000000) to get x
100/2875000000=x
3.4782608695652E-8=x
x=3.4782608695652E-8

now we have:
1.6 is 3.4782608695652E-8% of 4600000000
