What is 99.99375 percent of 1600000000 - 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 1600000000 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 1600000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1600000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.99375% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.99375%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1600000000=100%
2) x=99.99375%
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:
1600000000/x=100%/99.99375%
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 99.99375% of 1600000000

1600000000/x=100/99.99375
(1600000000/x)*x=(100/99.99375)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1600000000=1.0000625039065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0000625039065) to get x
1600000000/1.0000625039065=x
1599900000=x
x=1599900000

now we have:
99.99375% of 1600000000=1599900000
