What is 1.5 percent of 700000000000 - 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 700000000000 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 700000000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 700000000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 700000000000=100%
2) x=1.5%
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:
700000000000/x=100%/1.5%
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 1.5% of 700000000000

700000000000/x=100/1.5
(700000000000/x)*x=(100/1.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
700000000000=66.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.666666666667) to get x
700000000000/66.666666666667=x
10500000000=x
x=10500000000

now we have:
1.5% of 700000000000=10500000000
