Question

How do you write the mathematical expression for "50% of 32"?

Answer 1

`50/100xx32`

Explanation:

Note that `50% and 50/100` are the same thing. That being so it must mean that:

`50 color(white)("d")ubrace(color(white)("dd")% color(white)("d"))xx32`

`50 color(white)("d")obrace(xx1/100)xx32`

So % is the same as `xx1/100` including the multiplication sign.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`50/100xx32`

So the mathematical `ul("expression")` (no equals sign) is:

`50/100xx32`
