First convert 50% to a decimal number:
50% Start with the given percentage
0.50 To get rid of the percent sign, simply move the decimal place 2 spots to the left. This is equivalent to dividing by 100 (ie )

So 50% is the decimal number 0.50
---------------------

Now remember, 50% of 22 translates to

50%*22

Now replace 50% with 0.50

0.50*22

Now multiply 0.50*22 to get 11

So 50% of 22 is 11
