2 is what percent of 171476 - 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 171476 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 171476, so we can write it down as 100%=171476.
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%=171476
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%=171476/2
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 171476

100%/x%=171476/2
(100/x)*x=(171476/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=85738*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (85738) to get x
100/85738=x
0.001166343978166=x
x=0.001166343978166

now we have:
2 is 0.001166343978166% of 171476
