77 is what percent of 77000000000 - 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 77000000000 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 77000000000, so we can write it down as 100%=77000000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=77000000000
2) x%=77
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%=77000000000/77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 77 is what percent of 77000000000

100%/x%=77000000000/77
(100/x)*x=(77000000000/77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1000000000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1000000000) to get x
100/1000000000=x
1.0E-7=x
x=1.0E-7

now we have:
77 is 1.0E-7% of 77000000000
