2.01 is what percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100, so we can write it down as 100%=100.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100
2) x%=2.01
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%=100/2.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.01 is what percent of 100

100%/x%=100/2.01
(100/x)*x=(100/2.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.751243781095*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.751243781095) to get x
100/49.751243781095=x
2.01=x
x=2.01

now we have:
2.01 is 2.01% of 100
