2.01 is what percent of 38 - 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 38 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 38, so we can write it down as 100%=38.
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%=38
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%=38/2.01
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 38

100%/x%=38/2.01
(100/x)*x=(38/2.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.905472636816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.905472636816) to get x
100/18.905472636816=x
5.2894736842105=x
x=5.2894736842105

now we have:
2.01 is 5.2894736842105% of 38
