Answer 2

`=77.5`

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Convert\:}155\%\mathrm{\:into\:a\:decimal\:and\:multiply\:by\:}50`

`Percent-\mathrm{A\:ratio\:expressed\:as\:a\:fraction\:out\:of\:a\:hundred.}`

`=155\%\:`

In order to covert a percent to a ratio, divide it by 100: a% =
`(a)/(100)`

`a=155`

`155\%\:=(155)/(100)`

`\mathrm{Convert\:to\:decimal\:form}`

`=1.55`

`\mathrm{Multiply\:}1.55\mathrm{\:by\:}50`

`=1.55\cdot \:50`

`\mathrm{Simplify}\:1.55\cdot \:50`

`=77.5`
