    to find percentage you divide part over whole then mulitiply by 100. As in 23 divided by 50 equals .46 then multiply by 100 so answer equals 46%

    23 divided by 50 times a hundred equals 46 percent. To get a percentage take the fraction and times it by a hundred. 23/50 * 100 = 46% . Remember to simplify the equation.

    23/50 multiply both numbers by 2 so 50 can get to 100

    percentage means out of 100

    thus 23 out of 50 multiplied by 100

    (23/50)*100

    46%

    First of all find what 1% is of 50 by dividing by 100. 0.5 = 1%

    Now divide 23 by 1%, or 0.5. = 46

    That number is the percentage of the original number = 46% is the answer
