Question

32 is what percent of 50?

32 = x. 50
Solve for x to find the answer.
Then put the answer in percent form.
A. 0.64%
B. 0.064%
C. 6.4%
D 64%

Answer 1

D, 64%

Explanation:

To solve algebraic equations, you have to do the inverse or opposite, so because you are multiplying x by 50 on one side and x wants to be alone, you have to do the opposite which is divide by 50 to get x*1 or just x (because 50/50 equals 1) and what you do on one side of the = sign you do on the other, so 32/50 = 0.64. Then to make a percent you move the decimal to the right by 2 places and you get 64%

Answer 2

D is the answer. Since the X is multiplying the 50 and then having the 32 on the other side, make X the subject by dividing both sides by 50 to make the X stand alone. Having 0.64 as your result (X=0.64), multiply 0.64 by 100 since the question demands the answer to be in percentage
