2 is what percent of 265.64 - 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 265.64 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 265.64, so we can write it down as 100%=265.64.
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%=265.64
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%=265.64/2
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 265.64

100%/x%=265.64/2
(100/x)*x=(265.64/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=132.82*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (132.82) to get x
100/132.82=x
0.75289865984039=x
x=0.75289865984039

now we have:
2 is 0.75289865984039% of 265.64
