What is 79% of 50?

We need to find 79% of 50.

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

So 79% means 79 out of every 100.

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

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 79% = 0.79

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.79 × 50 = 39.5

So 79% of 50 = 39.5

You can also think of it as a fraction:

79% of 50 = (79/100) × 50

= (79 × 50) / 100

= 3950 / 100
