The answer depends on which country you come from. A billion in most of the English-language world (and some other countries) is considered to be 1,000 million (short scale). In much of continental Europe, South America and Africa a billion is 1,000,000 million (long-scale). The determination of how much a billion is depends on which naming system your respective country uses; long-scale or short-scale.

Using the short-scale system, there are 100 units in a percent so divide 5 billion (5,000,000,000) by 100 (which equates to removing the last two zeros) and the answer is 50 million (50,000,000).

1% of something means dividing by 100, or multiplying by 1/100

5 billion = 5,000,000,000

5000000000 / 100 = 50000000 or 50 million
