Question

What percent of 50 is 18

Answer 1

Greetings!

To find the percent of a number, you mutliply the percent by the number, then divide by 100. We can use this rule to create an equation:

`50*x/100=18`
Multiply both sides by 100.

`(50x/100)*100=(18)*100`
Simplify.

`50x=1800`
Divide both sides by 50.

`(50x)/50=(1800)/50`
Simplify.

`x=36`

36% of 50 is 18.

Hope this helps.
