if you have a population of 40million people and 2million of them are from out of town. what percentage of them are out of towners??

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2000000 people out of town and 4000000 people in total.

Solution for 2000000 is what percent of 40000000:

2000000:40000000*100 =

(2000000*100):40000000 =  

200000000:40000000 = 5

Now we have: 2000000 is what percent of 40000000 = 5  

Question: 2000000 is what percent of 40000000?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 40000000 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%= 40000000.

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=2000000.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=40000000(1).

x%=2000000(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100%/x%=40000000/2000000

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides.

⇒ x=5%

Therefore, 2000000 is 5% of 40000000.
