Question

What percent of 50 is 18? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

36%

Explanation:

Foremost, 18 of 50 can be written as:

18 / 50

Multiply both the numerator and denominator with 100:

18 / 50 = (18 ⋅ 100) / (50 ⋅ 100)

The above equation can be simplified/rewritten as:

((18 ⋅ 100) / 50) / 100

Solving the expression inside the bracket above produces:

36 / 100

So we have (in percentage notation):

36%
