3600000 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 3600000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3600000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=3600000
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%=2/3600000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3600000 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/3600000
(100/x)*x=(2/3600000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5555555555556E-7*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5555555555556E-7) to get x
100/5.5555555555556E-7=x
180000000=x
x=180000000

now we have:
3600000 is 180000000% of 2
