Question

What percent of 86 is 50 to the nearest whole percent

Answer 1

Answer:

58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose x percent of 86 is 50.

Therefore, we have the below equation

x% of 86 = 50

Eliminating percentage, we get

0.0x × 86 = 50

Solve for x

$0.0x\times86=50\\\\0.0x=\frac{50}{86}\\\\x=\frac{50}{86}\times100\\\\x=58.1$

Hence, in nearest whole percent, we have

x = 58%

Therefore, 58% of 86 is 50

Answer 2

50/86 × 100% = 58% (nearest percent)
