2642 is what percent of 2 - 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 2 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 2, so we can write it down as 100%=2.
4. We know, that x% equals 2642 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2642.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=2642
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%=2/2642
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2642 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/2642
(100/x)*x=(2/2642)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00075700227100681*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00075700227100681) to get x
100/0.00075700227100681=x
132100=x
x=132100

now we have:
2642 is 132100% of 2
