306 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 306 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=306.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=306
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%=2/306
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 306 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/306
(100/x)*x=(2/306)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0065359477124183*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0065359477124183) to get x
100/0.0065359477124183=x
15300=x
x=15300

now we have:
306 is 15300% of 2
