Question

First try was incorrect
3 is 2% of what number?

Answer 1

3 is 2% of 150.

Explanation:

When doing simple percent problems, you can use the formula P%x = y, where:

• P% of x is y,
• and P is the percentage as a decimal.

Thus, we can substitute 0.02 for P and 3 for y to find x:

(0.02x = 3) / 0.02

x = 150

Therefore, 3 is 2% of 150.
