216000000000 is what percent of 3.5E+15 - 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 3.5E+15 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 3.5E+15, so we can write it down as 100%=3.5E+15.
4. We know, that x% equals 216000000000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=216000000000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.5E+15
2) x%=216000000000
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%=3.5E+15/216000000000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 216000000000 is what percent of 3.5E+15

100%/x%=3.5E+15/216000000000
(100/x)*x=(3.5E+15/216000000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16203.703703704*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16203.703703704) to get x
100/16203.703703704=x
0.0061714285714286=x
x=0.0061714285714286

now we have:
216000000000 is 0.0061714285714286% of 3.5E+15
