What is 999999 percent of 1.0E+14 - 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 1.0E+14 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 1.0E+14 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.0E+14=100%.
4. We know, that x is 999999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=999999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.0E+14=100%
2) x=999999%
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:
1.0E+14/x=100%/999999%
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 999999% of 1.0E+14

1.0E+14/x=100/999999
(1.0E+14/x)*x=(100/999999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.0E+14=0.0001000001000001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0001000001000001) to get x
1.0E+14/0.0001000001000001=x
9.99999E+17=x
x=9.99999E+17

now we have:
999999% of 1.0E+14=9.99999E+17
