What is 2 percent of 93600 - 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 93600 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 93600 is 100%, so we can write it down as 93600=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) 93600=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:
93600/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 93600

93600/x=100/2
(93600/x)*x=(100/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
93600=50*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50) to get x
93600/50=x
1872=x
x=1872

now we have:
2% of 93600=1872
