790 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 790 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=790.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=790
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%=2/790
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 790 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/790
(100/x)*x=(2/790)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00253164556962*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00253164556962) to get x
100/0.00253164556962=x
39500=x
x=39500

now we have:
790 is 39500% of 2
