In the Autumn book series by david moody, 99 percent of humanity is wiped by a super virus, leaving only 1 percent who were immune to it.
there roughly six billion on the planet, so if 99 percent of six billion people died, how many survivors would there be?

Hopefully not you since you don't seem to be able to compute 1% of 6 billion!

It's a simple math question. 99% die, 1% live, hence
6,000,000,000 X .01 = 60,000,000

Take away 2 decimals,

6,000,000,000 - (00) =
60,000,000
