Okay Sandra Bullock received seventy million dollars which is 15% of the movie Gravity's gross income. So how much did the movie Gravity "presently" make ?
Let's see, first we change 15% to .15
.15 of ?=70,000,000 (15% of what equals 70,000,000)
We divide both sides by .15
(.15)/(.15) of ?= 70,000,000 / (.15)
?=466,666,666.67
answer: 466,666,666.67 of course with Gravity making about 467 million dollars nobody is going to worry about the extra 67 cents.
We can also use 15/100 rather than .15
15/100 of ? =70,000,000
Now we invert (15/100) to (100/15) and use that to multiply on both ends.
(15/100) x (100/15) of ? =70,000,000 x (100/15)
Of couse (15/100) X(100/15)=1 (one)
?=70,000,000 x (100/15) (First we multiply 70,000,000 by 100 which gives us 7,000,000,000 (7 billion) then divide that result by 15 .
? =466.666,666.67
Yep, the same answer so the movie Gravity gross about 467 million.
Now let's check by multiplying 466,666,666.67 by 15 %
466,666,666.67 x .15
answer=70,000,000.0005
So, Sandra Bullock got paid 70 million dollars and 1/2000 of a cent Click here for more about Sandra Bullock
