Question

What percent of 50 is 15

Answer 1

Do x/100=is/of

x=percent (unknown), is=15, of=50

We have:

x/100=15/50

50x=1,500

x=30

Answer 2

All you have to do is divide 15 by 50 and change your answer to a percent. First divide 15 by 50

`15 / 50 = 0.3`

Now change your answer to a percent. To change decimals to percnets, move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a percent sign.

`0.3 \rightarrow 30 \%`

Your answer is 30%
