What Percent is 36 of 50?

We need to find what percentage 36 is of 50.

Part (the amount we have): 36

Whole (the total): 50

We're asking: "36 out of 50 is how many percent?"

To find what percent one number is of another, we use:

Percentage = (Part ÷ Whole) × 100

This gives us the part as a fraction of the whole, then converts to a percentage.

Step 1: Divide the part by the whole:

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to convert to percent:

0.72 × 100 = 72%

36 is 72% of 50.

This means if you had 50 items and took 36 of them,

you would have 72% of the total.
