What is 7.6 percent of 490000000000 - 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 490000000000 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 490000000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 490000000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 490000000000=100%
2) x=7.6%
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:
490000000000/x=100%/7.6%
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 7.6% of 490000000000

490000000000/x=100/7.6
(490000000000/x)*x=(100/7.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
490000000000=13.157894736842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.157894736842) to get x
490000000000/13.157894736842=x
37240000000=x
x=37240000000

now we have:
7.6% of 490000000000=37240000000
