Question

What percent of 50 is 15

Answer 1

To find the percent, first divide the part by the whole.

$\frac{Part}{Whole} = \frac{15}{50}$

Now divide:

$15 \div 50 = 0.3$

You have your answer as a decimal. To change your decimal into a percent, move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a percent sign.

First move the decimal point:

$0.3 \rightarrow 30$

Now add the percent sign:

$30 \rightarrow 30 \%$

30% of 50 is 15
