2% is 2 out of 100.

\[ \frac{ 2 }{100} \]

Write the proportion to find x out of 24.1.

\[ \frac{ 2 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 24.1 } \]

Cross-multiply: 2 × 24.1 = 100x

\[ 2 \cdot 24.1 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (2 × 24.1) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 48.2 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 2% of 24.1 is 0.482.

Method 2: Keyword-Based
