2 is what percent of 46.15 - 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 46.15 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 46.15, so we can write it down as 100%=46.15.
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%=46.15
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%=46.15/2
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 46.15

100%/x%=46.15/2
(100/x)*x=(46.15/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.075*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.075) to get x
100/23.075=x
4.3336944745395=x
x=4.3336944745395

now we have:
2 is 4.3336944745395% of 46.15
