Question

50 is 4.5% if what number

Answer 1

We can start by setting up the equation for this problem. With n being that number, 50 = 4.5% * n. We know that percent is per one hundred, so 4.5% = 4.5/100.

So 50 = 4.5/100 n

Now we need get n. We can do that by multiplying by the reciprocal of n, 100/4.5. Doing that, we get that n is 4.5% of 1,111.11

Answer 2

`p\%=(p)/(100)\\\\4.5\%=(4.5)/(100)=0.045\\\\x-a\ number\\\\0.045x=50\ \ \ \ |:0.045\\\\x=1,111.\overline{1}\to x=1,111(1)/(9)`
