What is 0.762 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 2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.762% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.762%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2=100%
2) x=0.762%
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:
2/x=100%/0.762%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.762% of 2

2/x=100/0.762
(2/x)*x=(100/0.762)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2=131.23359580052*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (131.23359580052) to get x
2/131.23359580052=x
0.01524=x
x=0.01524

now we have:
0.762% of 2=0.01524
