What is 1999999 percent of 2000000 - 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 2000000 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 2000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1999999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1999999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2000000=100%
2) x=1999999%
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:
2000000/x=100%/1999999%
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 1999999% of 2000000

2000000/x=100/1999999
(2000000/x)*x=(100/1999999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2000000=5.0000025000012E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0000025000012E-5) to get x
2000000/5.0000025000012E-5=x
39999980000=x
x=39999980000

now we have:
1999999% of 2000000=39999980000
