2 is what percent of 1824 - 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 1824 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 1824, so we can write it down as 100%=1824.
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%=1824
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%=1824/2
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 1824

100%/x%=1824/2
(100/x)*x=(1824/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=912*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (912) to get x
100/912=x
0.10964912280702=x
x=0.10964912280702

now we have:
2 is 0.10964912280702% of 1824
