What is 78% of 50?

We need to find 78% of 50.

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

So 78% means 78 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 78% = 0.78

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.78 × 50 = 39

So 78% of 50 = 39

You can also think of it as a fraction:

78% of 50 = (78/100) × 50

= (78 × 50) / 100

= 3900 / 100
