Answer 1

14 people

Explanation:

`\bold{METHOD\ 1}:\\\\p\%=(p)/(100)\to 2\%=(2)/(100)=0.02\\\\2\%\ of\ 700=0.02\cdot700=14`

`\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}700&-&100\%\\\\x&-&2\%\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\100x=(700)(2)\\100x=1400\qquad\text{divide both sides by 100}\\\boxed{x=14}`

`\bold{METHOD\ 3}:\\\\\begin{array}{cccc}700&-&100\%&\qquad\text{divide both sides by 100}\\\\(700)/(100)&-&(100\%)/(100)\\\\7&-&1\%&\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\(7)(2)&-&(1\%)(2)\\\\14&-&2\%\end{array}`
