Question

What is 74/50 as a percent

Answer 1

Hey! Let me help you on this one.

As we can see, you are being asked to find a percent of 74/50.

74 out of 50 will make your percent number greater than 100. Now, let's break this problem down.

1% is 1 out of 100. 2% is 2 out of 100, and so on. In order to make our ratio look somewhat similar to a percentage, we need to make our denominator (fifty, in this case) be equal to 100.

This can be done by multiplying it by 2.


`50 * 2=100`

However, we must not forget that we must do the same thing to our numerator (seventy-four, in this case) if we want this to be balanced.


`74*2=148`

Now, let's look at our renewed ratio.


`148/100`

Yep! 148 out of 100 equals to 148%.

Answer: 74/50 as a percent is 148%

Answer 2

Hello there!

Here is a simple step you need to follow and remember it. You'll be able to find the percentage of any fraction next time.

First, start by transferring the fraction to decimal. To do that, divide the top number by the bottom.
74 ÷ 50 = 1.48

Second, multiply the decimal you got by 100
1.48 * 100 = 148%

Thus,

74/50 as a percentage is 148%

Good luck!
