What is 8.9 percent of 300000000000 - 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 300000000000 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 300000000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 300000000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 300000000000=100%
2) x=8.9%
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:
300000000000/x=100%/8.9%
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 8.9% of 300000000000

300000000000/x=100/8.9
(300000000000/x)*x=(100/8.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
300000000000=11.23595505618*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.23595505618) to get x
300000000000/11.23595505618=x
26700000000=x
x=26700000000

now we have:
8.9% of 300000000000=26700000000
