What is 285000 percent of 1000000000 - 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 1000000000 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 1000000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1000000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 285000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=285000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1000000000=100%
2) x=285000%
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:
1000000000/x=100%/285000%
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 285000% of 1000000000

1000000000/x=100/285000
(1000000000/x)*x=(100/285000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1000000000=0.00035087719298246*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00035087719298246) to get x
1000000000/0.00035087719298246=x
2850000000000=x
x=2850000000000

now we have:
285000% of 1000000000=2850000000000
