Question

What percent of 86 is 50 to the nearest whole percent

Answer 1

50/86 × 100% = 58% (nearest percent)

Answer 2

58%

Explanation:

Let us suppose x percent of 86 is 50.

Therefore, we have the below equation

x% of 86 = 50

Eliminating percentage, we get

0.0x × 86 = 50

Solve for x

`0.0x*86=50\\\\0.0x=(50)/(86)\\\\x=(50)/(86)*100\\\\x=58.1`

Hence, in nearest whole percent, we have

x = 58%

Therefore, 58% of 86 is 50
