Question

What is 50 percent of 62?

Answer 1

Generally you would need to do a
`(part)/(whole)` proportion but there is a shorter way to do just the specific question. If you would like to know how to do the proportion version let me know

Since it asks for 50% of 62 it means that it's looking for half of 62, so all you have to do is divide 62 by 2 which is...

62/2 = 31

31 is 50% of 62

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

31

Explanation:

An entire amount is 100% of the amount.

50% is half of 100%, so 50% means the same as half.

Half of 62 is the same as 62/2 = 31

Answer: 31
