4.34 is what percent of 50?

Question

Translate into an equation and solve. Let x be the unknown number.

Answer 1

4.34 = 50 * x

4.34 / 50 = x

x = 0.0868

0.0868 * 100 = 8.68%

Answer 2

Find the percent when the amount and base are known

amount / base = percent

divide 4.34 by 50

4.34 / 50 = 0.0868

multiply the decimal by 100 and attach the % symbol

0.0868 X 100 = 8.68%

4.34 is 8.68% of 50

Answer 3

Here are some tricks that will help you solve almost any percent problem.

* When you see "is", write "="

* When you see "what", write a variable "X" (that's the variable you're trying to find the value of).

* When you see "percent", write "/100" (i.e., divided by 100)

* When you see "of", write a multiplication symbol.

Example:
"4.34 is what percent of 50"

Translated according to the rules above:

4.34 = X/100 · 50

That's your main equation. Then you can use algebra to find X:

4.34/50 = X/100

(4.34/50)·100 = X

Answer 4

Let x be the required percentage.
Then:
4.34 = 50*x%
= 50*x / 100
= x / 2
Multiplying by 2:
8.68 = x
4.34 is 8.68% of 50.

Answer 5

10% of 50 is 5
1% of 50 is 0.5

So 4.34 is between 10% and 1%

The exact answer is 4.34 / 50 = 8.68%. You know how to divide, don't you?

Answer 6

well to write the equation:
for 4.34 you just write exactly that. the word "is" means equal so far we have 4.34= then for what percent you say x%. the word "of" means to multiply and for fifty you write 50. so you get:

4.34= x%*50

you divide by 50 and get
.0868=n% you move the decimal two places to the left to get rid of the % sign next to n. you're left with:

n= 8.68

hope that helped!

Answer 7

4.34 times 2 will give the percent of 50, because percentage is out of 100, and 50X2=100
therefore 4.34x2=8.68% of 50

Answer 8

4.34/50=X
X=.0868
8.68%

Answer 9

4.34x100/50=8.68% answer
