What is 500000 percent of 400000000000 - 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 400000000000 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 400000000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 400000000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 500000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=500000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 400000000000=100%
2) x=500000%
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:
400000000000/x=100%/500000%
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 500000% of 400000000000

400000000000/x=100/500000
(400000000000/x)*x=(100/500000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
400000000000=0.0002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0002) to get x
400000000000/0.0002=x
2.0E+15=x
x=2.0E+15

now we have:
500000% of 400000000000=2.0E+15
