540000 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 540000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=540000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=540000
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%=2/540000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 540000 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/540000
(100/x)*x=(2/540000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7037037037037E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7037037037037E-6) to get x
100/3.7037037037037E-6=x
27000000=x
x=27000000

now we have:
540000 is 27000000% of 2
