Question

23/50 of Xander's friends prefer to stay home on Friday nights.

What percent of Xander's friends prefer to stay home on Friday nights?

Answer 1

46%

Explanation:

Percentages are always out of 100. The denominator of this fraction is 50, which is half of 100. Therefore, you multiply the whole fraction by 2/2, and you will get the answer of 46/100. Because it is 46 out of the 100, we can write it as 46 percent(%).
