First convert 2% to decimal. Remove the % sign
2 / 100 = 0.02
multiply 3.500 by the decimal
3.500 x 0.02 = 0.07
The answer is: 0.07 Pounds is 2 percent of 3.500 pounds.

It depends on your system of annotation. 2% = 2/100
2*£3.500,00/100 = £70,00
Otherwise, 2*3.500 lb/100 = 0.07 lb

ONE percent of 3.500 = 0.035. TWO percent would be two of those one percent answers added together.

One thing I cant understand whether it is 3.5 pounds or 3,500 pounds.
if it is 3.5 pounds 2% is 0.07(3.5*2/100)
if it is 3,500 pounds, 2% is 70(3500*2/100)
