    8000 stars in this galaxy are larger than our sun

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Number of stars in the galaxy = 4*10^11

    Number of star larger than the sun in every 50*10^6 stars in the galaxy = 1

    Number of stars in the galaxy that are larger than the sun = (4*10^11) : (50*10^6) = 8000
