21 is what percent of 50?

Answer 1

Hazel Anglin

21 is 42% of 50.

"Out of 100" or "per 100" is what "percent" or "%" denotes.

So we can say #21/50 = x/100#

Solving for #x# gives:

#100 * 21/50 = 100 * x/100#

#2 * 21 = cancel(100) * x/cancel(100)#

#x = 42#

To find the percentage, divide 21 by 50 and then multiply by 100. So, (21/50) * 100 = 42%. Therefore, 21 is 42% of 50.
