Question

What is 50 percent of 62? 0.31 3.1 31 310

Answer 1

50 is 31% of 62.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to set up our problem like this, since percentages are written with %, and add up to 100%.

`(62)/(x) =(100)/(50)`

Next, we flip the denominators with the numerators so that the x ends up on the top.

`(x)/(62)=(50)/(100)`

Finally, we can see that 50/100 is 1/2, so to solve x/62, we have to divide 62 by 2 to get our answer.

62 ÷ 2 = 31

Our answer is 31%.
