5015 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 5015 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5015.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=5015
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%=2/5015
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5015 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/5015
(100/x)*x=(2/5015)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0003988035892323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0003988035892323) to get x
100/0.0003988035892323=x
250750=x
x=250750

now we have:
5015 is 250750% of 2
