What is 2.79E-7 percent of 360000000 - 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 360000000 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 360000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 360000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.79E-7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.79E-7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 360000000=100%
2) x=2.79E-7%
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:
360000000/x=100%/2.79E-7%
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 2.79E-7% of 360000000

360000000/x=100/2.79E-7
(360000000/x)*x=(100/2.79E-7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
360000000=358422939.0681*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (358422939.0681) to get x
360000000/358422939.0681=x
1.0044=x
x=1.0044

now we have:
2.79E-7% of 360000000=1.0044
