A. 2% of xy
B. 2% of (xy/100)
C. 2% of 100
D. 100% of xy

Accepted Answer

2% of xy (option A) x% of y means (x/100)*y, and y% of x means (y/100)*x. Adding these two gives 2xy/100, which is exactly 2% of xy (since 2% of xy = 2/100 * xy). The problem tests whether students can expand percentage expressions and combine like terms.
