2 is what percent of 186200 - 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 186200 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 186200, so we can write it down as 100%=186200.
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%=186200
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%=186200/2
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 186200

100%/x%=186200/2
(100/x)*x=(186200/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=93100*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (93100) to get x
100/93100=x
0.0010741138560687=x
x=0.0010741138560687

now we have:
2 is 0.0010741138560687% of 186200
