45000 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 45000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=45000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=45000
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%=2/45000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 45000 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/45000
(100/x)*x=(2/45000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4444444444444E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4444444444444E-5) to get x
100/4.4444444444444E-5=x
2250000=x
x=2250000

now we have:
45000 is 2250000% of 2
