Question

98% of 50 is what number

Answer 1

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

It's really quite simple lad. 50 times 98 is equal to 4900. then you just divide 4900 by 100 and you get your answer, 49. 98% is also 98/100, keep that in mind. Better luck next time haha you

Answer 2

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 50 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 50 is 100%, so we can write it down as 50=100%.

4. We know, that x is 98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=98%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 50=100%

2) x=98%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

50/x=100%/98%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 98% of 50

50/x=100/98

(50/x)*x=(100/98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

50=1.02040816327*x      - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.02040816327) to get x

50/1.02040816327=x

49=x

x=49

now we have:

98% of 50 = 49
