Question

What percent of 50 is 15

Answer 1

To find the percent, first divide the part by the whole.

`(Part)/(Whole) = (15)/(50)`

Now divide:

`15 / 50 = 0.3`

You have your answer as a decimal. To change your decimal into a percent, move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a percent sign.

First move the decimal point:

`0.3 \rightarrow 30`

Now add the percent sign:

`30 \rightarrow 30 \%`

30% of 50 is 15
