What is 99.999999 percent of 4000000 - 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 4000000 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 4000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.999999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.999999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4000000=100%
2) x=99.999999%
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:
4000000/x=100%/99.999999%
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 99.999999% of 4000000

4000000/x=100/99.999999
(4000000/x)*x=(100/99.999999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4000000=1.00000001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.00000001) to get x
4000000/1.00000001=x
3999999.96=x
x=3999999.96

now we have:
99.999999% of 4000000=3999999.96
