2% divided by 100% (2% / 100%)
the % signs cancel out because they are found on both the demoninator and the numerator, so you get:
2 divided by 100 (2 / 100)
which equals 0.02, not 2%, not 0.02%

It seems most people have been taking drugs and not maths lesson on this one !
IF you divide .2% by 100 the result is .002%
All you do is move the 2 twice to the right for the 2 noughts in the 100
If it was divide by 1000, then you woyld move your 2 to th right by three noughts
IF you REALLY want to divide the .2% by a 100%, you cant, this isnt allowed.

Is it not the same as saying 2 divided by 100 which = 0.02?
2% / 100% = 0.02

It is 2%. There are a lot of pitfalls here so we'll carefully go through this and make sure this answer does not fall into one of them. A percent is a fraction out of 100, So this is (2/100)/(100/100). As far as I know 100/100 is 1, so we get 2/100, or 2%.

since 2% equals .02 and 100% equals 1, and.02 divided by 1 equals itself then 2% divided by 100% equals 2%

100% = 1
2%/100% = 2%/1 = 2%

The word percent literally means per 100
So the question is:
(2 / 100) / (100/100)
This simplifies to simply 2 / 100
So .02

2%, because 100% is equivalent to 1. 100 parts of 1= 1

Any number divided by 1 is that number, therefore the answer is 2%.
