what percent of 50 is 15
A. 4%
B. 25%
C. 30%
D. 15%
I think its B
Think:
What x 50 would equal 100? 2.
Because you multiplied 50 by 2 you've got to multiply 15 by 2, and because 15 x 2 = 30, your answer is 30.
I got 30
15 / 50 = x / 100
Let x stand for the "What percent".
Think you can do it from here on out?
30 is right.
To find out what percent one number is of another number, you can use the formula:
(One number / Another number) * 100
In this case, you want to find out what percent 15 is of 50. Using the formula, divide 15 by 50 and then multiply by 100:
(15 / 50) * 100 = 0.3 * 100 = 30%
So the correct answer is C. 30%.
