Question 810782
Proportion... but you may be able to relate 2% as a fraction of 8%.  The question is about 2%, which s {{{1/4}}} of 8%.  You already know 8% is some 6 ounces.  What is then, {{{(1/4)}}} of 6 ounces?


More formally,  given 6 ounces is 8% of a whole quantity, W, then {{{6=0.08*W}}}, and so dividing both sides by 0.08, find that {{{W=6/(0.08)=(6/8)*100=0.75*100=75}}} ounces.


You wanted to know 2% of 75 ounces.
{{{0.02*75=highlight(1.5)}}} ounces.
