Question

2% of 4% of a number is what percentage of that number?

The correct answer is

0.08

Let the number be \(x\).

4% of the number is \(0.04x\).

2% of 4% of the number is \(0.02 \times 0.04x = 0.0008x\).

To find what percentage this is of the original number, we divide this value by \(x\) and multiply by 100:

\(\frac{0.0008x}{x} \times 100 = 0.0008 \times 100 = 0.08\)

Therefore, 2% of 4% of a number is 0.08% of that number.
