What is 1.97 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 1.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2=100%
2) x=1.97%
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%/1.97%
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 1.97% of 2

2/x=100/1.97
(2/x)*x=(100/1.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2=50.7614213198*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50.7614213198) to get x
2/50.7614213198=x
0.0394=x
x=0.0394

now we have:
1.97% of 2=0.0394
