What is 99.999 percent of 82000000000 - 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 82000000000 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 82000000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 82000000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 82000000000=100%
2) x=99.999%
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:
82000000000/x=100%/99.999%
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 99.999% of 82000000000

82000000000/x=100/99.999
(82000000000/x)*x=(100/99.999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
82000000000=1.0000100001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0000100001) to get x
82000000000/1.0000100001=x
81999180000=x
x=81999180000

now we have:
99.999% of 82000000000=81999180000
