What is 1.0E-6 percent of 50000000 - 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 50000000 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 50000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 50000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.0E-6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.0E-6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 50000000=100%
2) x=1.0E-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:
50000000/x=100%/1.0E-6%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1.0E-6% of 50000000

50000000/x=100/1.0E-6
(50000000/x)*x=(100/1.0E-6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
50000000=100000000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (100000000) to get x
50000000/100000000=x
0.5=x
x=0.5

now we have:
1.0E-6% of 50000000=0.5
