2 is what percent of 103.88 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 103.88 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 103.88, so we can write it down as 100%=103.88.
4. We know, that x% equals 2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=103.88
2) x%=2
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=103.88/2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2 is what percent of 103.88

100%/x%=103.88/2
(100/x)*x=(103.88/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=51.94*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (51.94) to get x
100/51.94=x
1.9252984212553=x
x=1.9252984212553

now we have:
2 is 1.9252984212553% of 103.88
