89000000000 is what percent of 3 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=3.
4. We know, that x% equals 89000000000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89000000000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3
2) x%=89000000000
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%=3/89000000000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89000000000 is what percent of 3

100%/x%=3/89000000000
(100/x)*x=(3/89000000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3707865168539E-11*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3707865168539E-11) to get x
100/3.3707865168539E-11=x
2966666666666.7=x
x=2966666666666.7

now we have:
89000000000 is 2966666666666.7% of 3
