What is 100000000 percent of 1.6 - 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 1.6 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 1.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 100000000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=100000000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.6=100%
2) x=100000000%
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:
1.6/x=100%/100000000%
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 100000000% of 1.6

1.6/x=100/100000000
(1.6/x)*x=(100/100000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.6=1.0E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0E-6) to get x
1.6/1.0E-6=x
1600000=x
x=1600000

now we have:
100000000% of 1.6=1600000
