What is 600000000 percent of 2.5 - 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 2.5 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 2.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 600000000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=600000000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=600000000%
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:
2.5/x=100%/600000000%
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 600000000% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/600000000
(2.5/x)*x=(100/600000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=1.6666666666667E-7*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6666666666667E-7) to get x
2.5/1.6666666666667E-7=x
15000000=x
x=15000000

now we have:
600000000% of 2.5=15000000
