2 is what percent of 4812 - 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 4812 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 4812, so we can write it down as 100%=4812.
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%=4812
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%=4812/2
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 4812

100%/x%=4812/2
(100/x)*x=(4812/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2406*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2406) to get x
100/2406=x
0.041562759767249=x
x=0.041562759767249

now we have:
2 is 0.041562759767249% of 4812
