Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution for 200 is what percent of 50:
200:50*100 =
(200*100):50 =
20000:50 = 400
Now we have: 200 is what percent of 50 = 400
Question: 200 is what percent of 50?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 50 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=50$.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=200$.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=50(1)$.
$x\%=200(2)$.
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{50}{200}$
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{200}{50}$
$\Rightarrow x=400\%$
Therefore, $200$ is $400\%$ of $50$.
