Question 1003967: Calculate 50% of 250
Answer by addingup(3677)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! One birthday cake is 100% If you cut it in half you have 2 halves, each is 50% because 50% + 50% = 100%. How about if you divide 250/2? It would be just like cutting the cake in half. If you don't know how to divide, use your calculator.
------------------------
About %: Percent means per one hundred. So if you buy a bicycle for 100 and get a 10% discount, your discount is 10 ($, Rs, or whatever your currency). The question is, what if instead of a bicycle you buy a football for 20?
-------------------------
To be able to calculate the percentage of any number, we first need to know how to calculate the percentage of 1. If you know 1, then you can multiply it for 2, 3, 300, or any other number and find out the percentage.
---------------------------
You want to know 50 of 100. So you divide 50/100= 0.5 OK, so now you know that it's 0.5 of 1. Since you want to know for 250, just multiply 0.5*250 and get your answer.
