What is 1.637 percent of 2000 - 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 2000 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 2000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.637% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.637%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2000=100%
2) x=1.637%
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:
2000/x=100%/1.637%
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 1.637% of 2000

2000/x=100/1.637
(2000/x)*x=(100/1.637)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2000=61.087354917532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (61.087354917532) to get x
2000/61.087354917532=x
32.74=x
x=32.74

now we have:
1.637% of 2000=32.74
