70400 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 70400 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70400.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=70400
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%=2/70400
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70400 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/70400
(100/x)*x=(2/70400)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8409090909091E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8409090909091E-5) to get x
100/2.8409090909091E-5=x
3520000=x
x=3520000

now we have:
70400 is 3520000% of 2
