<p>general math:</p>

<p>percent means 1/100</p>

<p>so 1 percent of 14000 would be 1/100 times 14000 which equals 14000/100 = 140</p>

<p>now for the actual problem:</p>

<p>k percent is k/100</p>

<p>so k percent of 14000 would be k/100 times 14000 which equals 14000k/100 = 140k</p>

<p>2 times 140k = 280k</p>
