What is 74.646 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 74.646% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.646%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2=100%
2) x=74.646%
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%/74.646%
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 74.646% of 2

2/x=100/74.646
(2/x)*x=(100/74.646)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2=1.3396565120703*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3396565120703) to get x
2/1.3396565120703=x
1.49292=x
x=1.49292

now we have:
74.646% of 2=1.49292
