What is 26.8 percent of 2000000000 - 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 2000000000 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 2000000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2000000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2000000000=100%
2) x=26.8%
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:
2000000000/x=100%/26.8%
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 26.8% of 2000000000

2000000000/x=100/26.8
(2000000000/x)*x=(100/26.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2000000000=3.7313432835821*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7313432835821) to get x
2000000000/3.7313432835821=x
536000000=x
x=536000000

now we have:
26.8% of 2000000000=536000000
