    Default A very fast mathematical question!

    What is 5% of 6.5 billion?

    Before you ask, no, I don't know how to use a calculator.

    I think it's 3,250,000. I could be wrong though 'cause those are big numbers.

    325,000,000

    I find the answer to be three hundred and twenty-five million. This is done by calculator, and I'm quite sure that it is correct.

    To use in calculator:

    type in the number you want to find the percent of. 6.5 billion (it has 8 zeros)

    Hit the X or "Times" or "Multiply" button.

    type in the percent you want, except move the decimal place left two places (if you dont' have enough numbers, add a zero). 5% would be 0.05

    Push = or "Equals"
    and as said, 325000000 is right.

    You guys are right. It is 325,000,000. I just realized that my calculator doesn't calculate that high.
