Recall that Hubble's law is written v = H0d, where v is the recession velocity of a galaxy located a distance d away from us, and H0 is Hubble's constant. Suppose H0 = 55 km/s/Mpc

How fast would a galaxy located 500 megaparsecs distant be receding from us? Show all work clearly, and state your final answer with a complete sentence. Give the speed in units of kilometers per second and as a percentage of the speed of light.
