What is 4202 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 4202% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4202%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2=100%
2) x=4202%
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%/4202%
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 4202% of 2

2/x=100/4202
(2/x)*x=(100/4202)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2=0.023798191337458*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.023798191337458) to get x
2/0.023798191337458=x
84.04=x
x=84.04

now we have:
4202% of 2=84.04
