400 is 2% of 20,000
To find the number that is 2% of another number, you can set up a proportion.
Let's say the number you are trying to find is represented by "x".
The proportion would be:
2% / 100% = 400 / x
To solve for "x", you can cross-multiply and then solve for "x".
(2/100) * x = 400
0.02 * x = 400
x = 400 / 0.02
x = 20,000
Therefore, 2% of 20,000 is 400.
