What is 2 percent of 13100000 - 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 13100000 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 13100000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13100000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13100000=100%
2) x=2%
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:
13100000/x=100%/2%
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 2% of 13100000

13100000/x=100/2
(13100000/x)*x=(100/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13100000=50*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50) to get x
13100000/50=x
262000=x
x=262000

now we have:
2% of 13100000=262000
