Answer: 40%

Here is how I solved it:

Step 1: Convert into percentages.

2,000 = 100%.

Step 2: Find 50% of 2,000.

2,000 - 1,000 = 1,000.

Step 3: Subtract 200 (20%)

1,000 - 200 = 800.

Step 4: Convert 800 of 2,000 into a fraction.

[tex]\frac{800}{2000}[/tex] = 800/2000

Step 5: Reduce the fraction.

800/2000 reduced = 8/20.

Step 6: Convert 8/20 into a percent.

800 = 40% of 2,000

Answer = 40%.
