http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/how-many-is-a-billion
I have a problem with this questionn because a billion is a different number in different countries
In the US it is 1 000 000 000 which is 1000 million or 10
9 In the UK and Australia I it is 1 000 000 000 000 which is a million million or 10
12 Web2.0calc seems to be based in the US so I will use their billion.
First you write your number as a fraction
213 / (4.54 x 10
9)
then, if you want to turn it into a percent, just multiply by 100 and put the % sign.
213 / (4.54 x 10
9) x 100%
