2 is what percent of 29.13 - 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 29.13 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 29.13, so we can write it down as 100%=29.13.
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%=29.13
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%=29.13/2
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 29.13

100%/x%=29.13/2
(100/x)*x=(29.13/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.565*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.565) to get x
100/14.565=x
6.8657741160316=x
x=6.8657741160316

now we have:
2 is 6.8657741160316% of 29.13
