Answer 2

To solve this problem, we can use the proportion:


`(part)/(whole) = (percent)/(100)`

Here, the part is 9, the percent is 2, and let's call the whole x. Now we can solve. This proportion becomes:


`(9)/(x) = (2)/(100)`

Now we can cross-multiply.

900 = 2x
x = 450

That means that 9 is 2% of 450.
