,>>Can anyone tell me what 6% of 8 billion is?
No. Some people can, but not just anyone.
The answer is 480,000.
.06 x 8,000,000,000 = 480,000
Edit: Sorry, my button got stuck. 480,000,000
480 million is the answer. Thanks for the palm-to-forehead slap.
I have a hard time believing 6% of 8 billion is only 480 thousand grandma.
Electronic calculators are wonderful things.
.06 x 8,000,000,000 = 480,000
You forgot something I think.
You moved the decimal over too many digits
6/100 = 0.06
.06 x 8000 000 000 = 480 000 000
10% of 1,000,000,000 is 100,000,000, so 6% would be 60,000,000 times 8 = 480,000,000.
