Question

In each of the following pairs of numbers, find what percentage the first number forms of the scored.

(1) 24, 50

Answer 1

It can be expressed as $\frac{24}{50}$.
To find the percentage, we will use the fraction with denominator 100.
For that, we will multiply the numerator and denominator by 2.
∴ $\frac{24}{50}=\frac{24\times 2}{50\times 2}=\frac{48}{100}$ = 48

Thus, 24 is 48% of 50.
