what is 3% of 2.3 billion?

Answer 1

3% of 2.3 billion = 69 000 000

Answer 2

3% of 2.3 billion = 3/100 * 2300000000000 = 69000000000.
You can also call it 69 million.

Answer 3

Three percent represents a fraction:
3/100

Two point three billion looks like this:
2,300,000,000

When you see the word 'OF' in math, especially when dealing with fractions, the operation of multiplying is inferred.

of=X ...(times)

and so we have the following:
3/100 of 2,300,000,000 which means:
(3/100) times (2,300,000,000)

You can knock-off two of the zeros in the big number (the billion stuff) if you knock-off two of the zeros in the denominator of the fraction. And so, after 'cancelling' we get:

3 times 23,000,000

which works out to
69,000,000...

or, sixty-nine million, if you prefer.

All this can be easily 'done' mentally!

It should be noted that there are two types of 'BILLION', depending on which system you use. In the British system, one billion is 1000 times larger than everybody else's idea of one billion.

Answer 4

3% of 2.3 billion = 69,000,000

100 = 3
2,300,000,000/100 = 23,000,000
23,000,000 x 3 = 69,000,000

Edit
This is the most simple formula that you can use. Just divide the # by 100 and multiply the (quotients) answer to %# and just by removing the percentage (%) symble, you get the answer, no need to cancel out zeros. Not only that this is the most simple formula that you can use to calculate by head, without calculator.

Answer 5

Answer = (3 * 2.3) *1000000000 /100
=6.9 * 10^7

Answer 6

2.3 billion = 2,300,000,000

2,300,000,000 x 3%
= 2,300,000,000 x 3/100
= 6,900,000,000/100
= 69,000,000

Answer 7

3% of 2.3 billion = (3 / 100 ) * (2.3) * (1000000000)


= 69 000 000

Answer 8

Looks like $69 million to me

Answer 9

.03*2.3*10^9=6.9*10^7

Answer 10

2.231 billion
