2 is what percent of 38760 - 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 38760 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 38760, so we can write it down as 100%=38760.
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%=38760
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%=38760/2
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 38760

100%/x%=38760/2
(100/x)*x=(38760/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19380*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19380) to get x
100/19380=x
0.0051599587203302=x
x=0.0051599587203302

now we have:
2 is 0.0051599587203302% of 38760
