485000 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 485000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=485000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=485000
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%=2/485000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 485000 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/485000
(100/x)*x=(2/485000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1237113402062E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1237113402062E-6) to get x
100/4.1237113402062E-6=x
24250000=x
x=24250000

now we have:
485000 is 24250000% of 2
