What is 50% of 24?

I know it's 12 but how did they get it? Can I get the solution step by step?

This is a high school question so I'm assuming you know how this works if I explain it this way.

Basically you need to put % over % so 50/100 =

since you are trying to find out what is 50% of 24 you would put x/24

50/100=x/24 then cross multiple 100x=50x24 which is 1200

then you have to get x alone so divide both sides by 100
x=12

plug in to verify.

hope this helps.
