Generally you would need to do a $\frac{part}{whole}$ proportion but there is a shorter way to do just the specific question. If you would like to know how to do the proportion version let me know

Since it asks for 50% of 62 it means that it's looking for half of 62, so all you have to do is divide 62 by 2 which is...

62/2 = 31

31 is 50% of 62

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An entire amount is 100% of the amount.

50% is half of 100%, so 50% means the same as half.

Half of 62 is the same as 62/2 = 31

Answer: 31

Write an equation for the following: y varies directly with x and z. Find K when x=2, y=12 and z=5.

olga_2 [115]

$\qquad \qquad \textit{direct joint variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x} and \underline{z}}~\hspace{8.5em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}xz~\hfill } \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}, }w^2\textit{ and }z^5~\hspace{6em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}xw^2z^5~\hfill } \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$y = kxz\qquad \textit{we know that} \begin{cases} x=2\\ y=12\\ z=5 \end{cases}\implies 12=k(2)(5) \\\\\\ \cfrac{12}{(2)(5)}=k\implies \cfrac{6}{5}=k~\hspace{10em}\boxed{y=\cfrac{6}{5}xz}$
