Answer:

1.05

Explanation:

Because 30% of 70 is
30\% * 70 = (30)/(100) * 70 = 0.3 * 70 = 21, so the question becomes "21 is what percent of 2000?"

To answer this, we can solve for
x in the equation
21 = x\% * 2000, which is:


21 = x\% * 2000\\21 = (x)/(100) * 2000\\21 = 20x\\x=(21)/(20)=1.05

So the answer is 1.05 percent.
