2 is what percent of 4051 - 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 4051 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 100% equals 4051, so we can write it down as 100%=4051.
4. We know, that x% equals 2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4051
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:
100%/x%=4051/2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2 is what percent of 4051

100%/x%=4051/2
(100/x)*x=(4051/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2025.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2025.5) to get x
100/2025.5=x
0.0493705257961=x
x=0.0493705257961

now we have:
2 is 0.0493705257961% of 4051
