What is 18.36 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 18.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2=100%
2) x=18.36%
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%/18.36%
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 18.36% of 2

2/x=100/18.36
(2/x)*x=(100/18.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2=5.4466230936819*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4466230936819) to get x
2/5.4466230936819=x
0.3672=x
x=0.3672

now we have:
18.36% of 2=0.3672
