What is 800000000 percent of 99.9 - 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 99.9 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 99.9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 99.9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 800000000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=800000000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 99.9=100%
2) x=800000000%
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:
99.9/x=100%/800000000%
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 800000000% of 99.9

99.9/x=100/800000000
(99.9/x)*x=(100/800000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
99.9=1.25E-7*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25E-7) to get x
99.9/1.25E-7=x
799200000=x
x=799200000

now we have:
800000000% of 99.9=799200000
