According to the statement,
2=x/100* 11
2 * 100/11=x
200/11=x
18.18=x

i like to think of it like this:
two is what percent of eleven
we know that is in math is represented by a equal sign so
two = what percent of eleven
we know that of is represented by a multiplication sign so
two = what percent x eleven
we know that "what" is what we don't know so we can represent that with a variable such as z
two = z percent x eleven
we know that percent means "out of one hundred" which can be represented by divided by one hundred
two = z/100 x eleven
or
2=z/100 x 11 (multiply z/100 by 11)
2=11z/100 (multiply both sides by 100)
200=11z (divide both sides by 11)
200/11=z=18.18%

(2/11)*100%
If that doesn't make sense, you take two, divide it by 11. That will give you a per unit value of .1818. To convert per unit to percent, you need to multiply by 100. In other words, you need to shift the decimal to the right two places.

Convert the words to an equation and solve:
"Two" --> 2
"is" --> =
"what percent" --> n/100
"of" --> *
"Eleven" --> 11
2 = n/100 * 11
2/11 = n / 100
2/11 * 100 = n
n = 18.181818...
So the answer is more accurately 2 is 18.1818...% of 11.
