Question

Percent - of 50=45.5

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Let x be the percent, hence} \\ (x\cdot50)/(100)=45.5 \\ x=((100)(45.5))/(50) \\ x=(2)(45.5) \\ x=91\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} we\text{ can solve this by using the rule of thre}e \\ 50\text{ -----100\%} \\ 45.5\text{ ----x} \\ \text{then} \\ x=((100)(45.5))/(50) \\ x=91\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{for this new questions, one has:} \\ 59\text{ percent -----23.6} \\ 100\text{ percent ----x} \\ by\text{ the rule of thr}ee \\ x=((100)(23.6))/(59) \\ x=(2360)/(59) \\ x=40 \\ \text{then, 59\% of 40 is 23.6 } \end{gathered}`
