What is 61% of 50?

We need to find 61% of 50.

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

So 61% means 61 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 61% = 0.61

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.61 × 50 = 30.5

So 61% of 50 = 30.5

You can also think of it as a fraction:

61% of 50 = (61/100) × 50

= (61 × 50) / 100

= 3050 / 100

= 30.5
