Question

2 is 25% of what number

Answer 1

8

1) Considering that 25% is the same as 1/4. Then to find out which number 2 is 25%, we can write out this formula:

Percentage from that number * x = Number.

Rewriting 25% as 0.25 we have:

`\begin{gathered} 0.25x=2 \\ (0.25)/(0.25)x=(2)/(0.25) \\ \end{gathered}`

So we can divide both sides by 0.25 to find the quantity of x.

2)

`x=8`

Hence, 2 is 1/4 (or 25% ) from 8. Hence, the answer is 8.
