What is 99.99999999 percent of 76000000000 - 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 76000000000 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 76000000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 76000000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.99999999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.99999999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 76000000000=100%
2) x=99.99999999%
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:
76000000000/x=100%/99.99999999%
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 99.99999999% of 76000000000

76000000000/x=100/99.99999999
(76000000000/x)*x=(100/99.99999999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
76000000000=1.0000000001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0000000001) to get x
76000000000/1.0000000001=x
75999999992.4=x
x=75999999992.4

now we have:
99.99999999% of 76000000000=75999999992.4
