1 Answer

Oct 26, 2016

$62 %$ $62%$ of $50 = 31$ $50=31$

Explanation:

If there is a number $x$ $x$ , and one wants to calculate $y %$ $y%$ of $x$ $x$ .
Then just multiply $\frac{y}{100}$ $y/100$ and $x$ $x$ , i.e.,

$y %$ $y%$ of $x = \frac{x y}{100}$ $x=(xy)/100$

Here, $x = 50$ $x=50$ and $y = 62$ $y=62$

$\Rightarrow 62 %$ $implies 62%$ of $50 = \frac{50 \cdot 62}{100} = \frac{3100}{100} = 31$ $50=(50*62)/100=3100/100=31$

$\Rightarrow 62 %$ $implies 62%$ of $50$ $50$ is $31$ $31$
