What is 7.26 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 7.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2=100%
2) x=7.26%
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%/7.26%
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 7.26% of 2

2/x=100/7.26
(2/x)*x=(100/7.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2=13.774104683196*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.774104683196) to get x
2/13.774104683196=x
0.1452=x
x=0.1452

now we have:
7.26% of 2=0.1452
