What is 2 percent of 30520 - 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 30520 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 30520 is 100%, so we can write it down as 30520=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) 30520=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:
30520/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 30520

30520/x=100/2
(30520/x)*x=(100/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
30520=50*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50) to get x
30520/50=x
610.4=x
x=610.4

now we have:
2% of 30520=610.4
