Sagot :

You're looking to find how much of 2000 $110 is. What percent of 2000 is 110?

110 parts out of 2000 parts can also be written in a fraction:
[tex]\frac{110}{2000}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{11}{200}[/tex]
= 0.055

To get a percent from a decimal, you multiply by 100:
0.055 * 100 = 5.5%

So, $110 is 5.5% of the initial $2000. Hope this helps! :)
Simple interest: I=Prt
110=2000(r)(1)
110=2000r
r= 0.055= 5.5%
