What is 9999 percent of 55555555555 - 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 55555555555 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 55555555555 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55555555555=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55555555555=100%
2) x=9999%
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:
55555555555/x=100%/9999%
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 9999% of 55555555555

55555555555/x=100/9999
(55555555555/x)*x=(100/9999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55555555555=0.01000100010001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.01000100010001) to get x
55555555555/0.01000100010001=x
5554999999944.5=x
x=5554999999944.5

now we have:
9999% of 55555555555=5554999999944.5
