532.4 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 532.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=532.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=532.4
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%=2/532.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 532.4 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/532.4
(100/x)*x=(2/532.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0037565740045079*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0037565740045079) to get x
100/0.0037565740045079=x
26620=x
x=26620

now we have:
532.4 is 26620% of 2
