Answer 1

The answer is B 2%. I really hope this helps.

Answer 2

`\bf\textbf{Ownership percentage owned by Anastasia after the split = }2\%`

Explanation:

Number of shares the company has = 20000

Number of shares owned by Anastasia = 400

We need to find Anastasia's ownership percentage after the split.

So, To find the part of ownership :

`\text{Ownership part owned by Anastasia = }(400)/(20000)\\\\\implies \text {Ownership part owned by Anastasia = }0.002`

Now, To find the ownership percentage :

`\text{Ownership percentage owned by Anastasia after the split = }0.002 * 100\\\\\bf\implies\textbf{Ownership percentage owned by Anastasia after the split = }2\%`
