Question
2% of 7% of a number is what percentage of that number?
The correct answer is
0.14
First, let's define the problem clearly: We need to find what percentage 2% of 7% of a number is with respect to that number.
Let the number be represented by N.
First, calculate 7% of N:
\(7\%\text{ of } N = \frac{7}{100} \times N = 0.07N\)
Next, calculate 2% of this result:
\(2\%\text{ of } 0.07N = \frac{2}{100} \times 0.07N = 0.0014N\)
Now, determine what percentage 0.0014N is of the original number N:
\(\frac{0.0014N}{N} \times 100\% = 0.0014 \times 100\% = 0.14\%\)
Thus, 2% of 7% of a number is 0.14% of that number. The correct option is 0.14.
