Answer 2

Answer: 22.32

Explanation:

`46\ (1)/(2)\%` is a mixed number.

First we transform this mixed number to its decimal form.

The mixed number has 2 parts, an integer part and a decimal part. In this case the integer part is 46 and the decimal part is "
`(1)/(2)`"

Therefore
`46\ (1)/(2)\%` is the same as:
`(46+(1)/(2))\%=46.5\%`

To calculate 46.5% of 48 we must multiply 48 by 0.465 as shown below:

`48*0.465 =22.32`

Finally we have that the 46.5% of 48 is 22.32
