Hello. I would like to ask you two questions... What percent of 23 is 14? And, I would also like to ask you to find a number so that 2% of it is 128. Answer ASAP! Thank you!

Let the percent be P

Then %28P%2F100%29+%2A+23+=+14

23P%2F100+=+14

23P = 1,400 ------ Cross-multiplying

P, or percent = 1400%2F23, or highlight_green%2860.87%29

=========
Let the number be N

Then: 2% of N = 128

.02N = 128

N, or number = 128%2F.02, or highlight_green%286400%29

Find a number so that 2% of it is 128.
Let the number be "x":
0.02x = 128

x = 128/0.02
----
x = 6400
