100 x N =50

What the question is asking is what does N have to be to make 100 times n equal to 50
First divide both sides by 100 to get the n all by itself
N = 50/100
Now just reduce the fraction
N = 1/2 or .5 in decimal form
Now plug .5 in for N to see if it's correct
100 * .5 = 50
50 = 50
So it's correct
Hope this helps

N = 1/2
To solve for N you must divide each side by 100. Why? Because you are using multiplication. So you must use the opposite, division, to isolate the N variable. 100/100 = 1 and cancels out. 50/100 = 1/2.
Plug in to check your answer. 100 x 1/2 = 50.
