Answer 1

Without a calculator, this question is still manageable.  :o)

10% of a number is always computed by moving the decimal point one space to the left (so 10% of 197,060,800 is 19,706,080.00 (you can add an extra "0" as the end as a place holder).

1% of a number is always computed by moving the decimal point two spaces to the left (so 1% of 197,060,800 is 1,970,608.00).

Did you mean to write 0.02%, or just 2%?

To figure out 2% (written as .02, without the percentage sign), simply multiply the answer you got for 1% times 2.

1,970,608 * 2 = 3,941,216.

You can also get the answer on a calculator by multiplying 197,060,800 by .02 (2%, written in a decimal).  You will get the same answer.

To figure out 0.02% (which is two-hundreths of a percent), you can take the answer I got for 2%, and simply move the decimal point two more spaces to the left (3,914,216 becomes 39,412.16 - this works because the number .02 is the same as 2.0 with the decimal moved two spaces to the left).  

You can also use a calculator.  Because you enter percentages into a calculator by moving the decimal point two spaces to the left (same as above, to figure out 2%, you enter .02), you would enter .02% as .0002.  So, 197,060,800 * .0002 = 39,412.16

Answer 2

= 39412.16
