2 is what percent of 4811 - 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 4811 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 4811, so we can write it down as 100%=4811.
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%=4811
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%=4811/2
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 4811

100%/x%=4811/2
(100/x)*x=(4811/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2405.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2405.5) to get x
100/2405.5=x
0.041571398877572=x
x=0.041571398877572

now we have:
2 is 0.041571398877572% of 4811
