2% of 50% of a number is what percentage of that number?
Formula used:
If x% of y% of a number is taken, the result can be written as:
(x/100) × (y/100) × Number = Result
To find the percentage of the number, use:
(Result / Number) × 100
Calculation:
Let the number be N.
⇒ 2% of 50% of N = (2/100) × (50/100) × N
⇒ = (2 × 50) / (100 × 100) × N
⇒ = (100 / 10000) × N
⇒ = (1 / 100) × N
Now, to find what percentage this is of N:
⇒ ((1 / 100) × N / N) × 100
⇒ (1 / 100) × 100
⇒ = 1 %
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
