Question

If 2% of x = 276, then x is equal to:

• A. 13900
• B. 13800
• C. 27600
• D. 27700

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 13800

Given:

2% $\text{ of } x = 276$

Step 1: Convert percentage to fraction
2% $= \frac{2}{100}$

So,
$\frac{2}{100} \times x = 276$

Step 2: Solve for x

$x = \frac{276 \times 100}{2}$
$x = \frac{27600}{2}$
$x = 13,800$

Final Answer: x = 13,800
