What is 71% of 50?

We need to find 71% of 50.

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

So 71% means 71 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 71% = 0.71

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.71 × 50 = 35.5

So 71% of 50 = 35.5

You can also think of it as a fraction:

71% of 50 = (71/100) × 50

= (71 × 50) / 100

= 3550 / 100

= 35.5
