In this case, we can create a simple ratio to find out how much is 2.5% of 7.1. We know that 100% of a number, is the number itself. Based on this information we can say:

If 100% is 7.1

Then 2.5% is X

If we cross multiply, so we will have 100 times x equal to 2.5 times 7.1.

100x=2.5*7.5

100x=18.75

Divide both sides of the equation with 100.

100x/100 = 18.75/100

x=0.1875
