2 is what percent of 14624 - 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 14624 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 14624, so we can write it down as 100%=14624.
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%=14624
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%=14624/2
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 14624

100%/x%=14624/2
(100/x)*x=(14624/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7312*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7312) to get x
100/7312=x
0.013676148796499=x
x=0.013676148796499

now we have:
2 is 0.013676148796499% of 14624
