Step-by-step solution

The problem

{2}\% \text{ of } {70}

  1. Change 2% to a decimal. Divide by 100.

    2\% = 2 \div 100 = 0.02
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{0.02} \times 70

  2. Multiply. Leave out the decimal points and multiply, then put the point back. Count the decimal places: 0.02 has 2, so the answer has 2.

    \begin{aligned} 2 \times 70 &= 140 \\[10pt] 140 \div 100 &= 1.4 \end{aligned}
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{1.4}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &{2}\% \text{ of } {70} \\[8pt] &= 0.02 \times 70 && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{percent → decimal}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{1.4} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{multiply}}\end{aligned}
