Question

Calculate the following percent using fraction equivalents. 50% of 64

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

50% is $\frac{50}{100}$ but we're working with 64 units, not 100. So, we must find a number that represents 50 but in 64 units.

$\frac{50}{100}=\frac{x}{64}$

If you solve for x, you get:

$x=\frac{50*64}{100}\\ x=32$

$\frac{50}{100}=\frac{32}{64}$
