2 is what percent of 95 - 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 95 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 95, so we can write it down as 100%=95.
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%=95
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%=95/2
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 95

100%/x%=95/2
(100/x)*x=(95/2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=47.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.5) to get x
100/47.5=x
2.10526315789=x
x=2.10526315789

now we have:
2 is 2.10526315789% of 95
