What is 49.6 percent of 780000000 - 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 780000000 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 780000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 780000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 780000000=100%
2) x=49.6%
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:
780000000/x=100%/49.6%
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 49.6% of 780000000

780000000/x=100/49.6
(780000000/x)*x=(100/49.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
780000000=2.0161290322581*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0161290322581) to get x
780000000/2.0161290322581=x
386880000=x
x=386880000

now we have:
49.6% of 780000000=386880000
