What is 144 percent of 8.0E+14 - 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 8.0E+14 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 8.0E+14 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.0E+14=100%.
4. We know, that x is 144% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=144%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.0E+14=100%
2) x=144%
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:
8.0E+14/x=100%/144%
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 144% of 8.0E+14

8.0E+14/x=100/144
(8.0E+14/x)*x=(100/144)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.0E+14=0.69444444444444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.69444444444444) to get x
8.0E+14/0.69444444444444=x
1.152E+15=x
x=1.152E+15

now we have:
144% of 8.0E+14=1.152E+15
