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.
