2 is what percent of 942 - 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 942 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 942, so we can write it down as 100%=942.
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%=942
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%=942/2
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 942

100%/x%=942/2
(100/x)*x=(942/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=471*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (471) to get x
100/471=x
0.21231422505308=x
x=0.21231422505308

now we have:
2 is 0.21231422505308% of 942
