What is 80 percent of 11200000000 - 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 11200000000 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 11200000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11200000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 80% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=80%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11200000000=100%
2) x=80%
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:
11200000000/x=100%/80%
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 80% of 11200000000

11200000000/x=100/80
(11200000000/x)*x=(100/80)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11200000000=1.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x
11200000000/1.25=x
8960000000=x
x=8960000000

now we have:
80% of 11200000000=8960000000
