Answer:

686000000000

Explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 7000000 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 7000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7000000=100%.

4. We know, that x is 9800000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9800000%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 7000000=100%

2) x=9800000%

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:

7000000/x=100%/9800000%

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 9800000% of 7000000

7000000/x=100/9800000

(7000000/x)*x=(100/9800000)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

7000000=1.0204081632653E-5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0204081632653E-5) to get x

7000000/1.0204081632653E-5=x

686000000000=x

x=686000000000

now we have:

9800000% of 7000000=686000000000
