Answer 1

Answer:

14 people

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}:\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to 2\%=\dfrac{2}{100}=0.02\\\\2\%\ of\ 700=0.02\cdot700=14$

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

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