An international billion refers to a billion in the context of the short scale, which is commonly used in most English-speaking countries, where one billion equals one thousand million (1,000,000,000). This term can also be relevant in discussions involving global finance, trade, or economics, where large sums of money are expressed in billions of dollars, euros, or other currencies. It's important to distinguish this from the long scale, used in some non-English-speaking countries, where a billion can mean one million million (1,000,000,000,000).

One billion minutes is equal to 1,000,000,000 minutes. This is because the prefix "bi-" in billion signifies "two" in the International System of Units, indicating a factor of one billion. Therefore, one billion minutes is a very large quantity, equivalent to approximately 1,901 years.
500% of 9 Billion would be: 9 Billion (100% of 9 Billion) + 9 Billion (200% of 9 Billion) + 9 Billion (300% of 9 Billion) + 9 Billion (400% of 9 Billion) + 9 Billion (500% of 9 Billion) = 45 Billion.
It equals 1000 million. Warning. A billion is 1000 million in the USA, but not everywhere. In many English-speaking countries a billion is a million million. In everyday matters in the US you can use billion without worrying, but if your words might be going international it would probably be worth while to learn the other ways of doing it.
