Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation: To make this easier we want the problem to be _/100 and 50*2=100

so we need to also multiply 34*2

we end up with 68/100

Convert to percentange, and you get 68%

% means out of 100 34/50 is out of 50. you times 50 by 2 to get 100 so you also times 34 by 2 which is 68/100 which is 68%
