What is 359 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 359% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=359%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2=100%
2) x=359%
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%/359%
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 359% of 2

2/x=100/359
(2/x)*x=(100/359)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2=0.27855153203343*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.27855153203343) to get x
2/0.27855153203343=x
7.18=x
x=7.18

now we have:
359% of 2=7.18
