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: 2000 110 ​ = 200 11 ​ = 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! :)
