2 is what percent of 1682.75 - 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 1682.75 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 1682.75, so we can write it down as 100%=1682.75.
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%=1682.75
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%=1682.75/2
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 1682.75

100%/x%=1682.75/2
(100/x)*x=(1682.75/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=841.375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (841.375) to get x
100/841.375=x
0.11885306789482=x
x=0.11885306789482

now we have:
2 is 0.11885306789482% of 1682.75
