2 is what percent of 104.75 - 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 104.75 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 104.75, so we can write it down as 100%=104.75.
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%=104.75
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%=104.75/2
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 104.75

100%/x%=104.75/2
(100/x)*x=(104.75/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=52.375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52.375) to get x
100/52.375=x
1.909307875895=x
x=1.909307875895

now we have:
2 is 1.909307875895% of 104.75
