Question

50 percent of a number is 7 .What is the number

Answer 1

50 percent of a number is 7

Set up an equation.

50% * x = 7

0.50 * x = 7

0.50x = 7

Divide 0.50 to both sides:

x = 14

Answer 2

50% as a fraction is=1/2.
1/2 of 7=3.
1/2 is 3=7 ( always divide by the bottom and times by the top).
7+3=10.
70+30= 100.
Half 100 is 50.
So 30 or 3 is the number.
