two workers earning 8 bucks an hour for 40hrs, well, that means each worker is making 8*40 or 320 bucks, now, is two workers, so 320+320 or 640 is the total cost then.

now, the revenue, sales income, is 2,000 bucks, how much is 640 off of?

well, if we take 2000 to be the 100%, what is 640 in percentage off of it?


\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 2000&100\\ 640&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{2000}{640}=\cfrac{100}{x}

solve for "x".
