What is 109% of 50?

We need to find 109% of 50.

The word "percent" means "per hundred" or "out of 100".

So 109% means 109 out of every 100.

To calculate with percentages, we first convert to a decimal.

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 109% = 1.09

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

1.09 × 50 = 54.5

So 109% of 50 = 54.5

You can also think of it as a fraction:

109% of 50 = (109/100) × 50

= (109 × 50) / 100

= 5450 / 100
