Question

2 is 25% of what number

Answer 1

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:

$\begin{gathered} 0.25x=2 \\ \frac{0.25}{0.25}x=\frac{2}{0.25} \\ \end{gathered}$

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.
