What is 50 percent of 543666666666 - 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 543666666666 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 543666666666 is 100%, so we can write it down as 543666666666=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 543666666666=100%
2) x=50%
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:
543666666666/x=100%/50%
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 50% of 543666666666

543666666666/x=100/50
(543666666666/x)*x=(100/50)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
543666666666=2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2) to get x
543666666666/2=x
271833333333=x
x=271833333333

now we have:
50% of 543666666666=271833333333
