Question

Use the appropriate form of the percentages formula. What percent of 10 is 2?

Answer 1

To determine a percentage we can use the following formula:

`(part)/(whole)\cdot100\%`

In this case the part is equal to two, the whole is equal to 10, then we have:

`(2)/(10)*100\%=20\%`

Therefore, 2 is 20% of 10
