92.5 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 92.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=92.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=92.5
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%=2/92.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 92.5 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/92.5
(100/x)*x=(2/92.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.021621621621622*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.021621621621622) to get x
100/0.021621621621622=x
4625=x
x=4625

now we have:
92.5 is 4625% of 2
