What is 142% of 50?

We need to find 142% of 50.

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

So 142% means 142 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 142% = 1.42

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

1.42 × 50 = 71

So 142% of 50 = 71

You can also think of it as a fraction:

142% of 50 = (142/100) × 50

= (142 × 50) / 100
