What is 1.0E+16 percent of 0.0001 - 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 0.0001 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 0.0001 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.0001=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.0E+16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.0E+16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.0001=100%
2) x=1.0E+16%
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:
0.0001/x=100%/1.0E+16%
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 1.0E+16% of 0.0001

0.0001/x=100/1.0E+16
(0.0001/x)*x=(100/1.0E+16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.0001=1.0E-14*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0E-14) to get x
0.0001/1.0E-14=x
10000000000=x
x=10000000000

now we have:
1.0E+16% of 0.0001=10000000000
