Question

What percent is 24 of 96?

Answer 1

`24/96=0.25=25%`

Explanation:

Let's think about this problem this way:

We know that 50% of a number is the same as `1/2` of the number. And so what is `1/2` of 96?

• `1/2xx96=48`, which is the same as

• `0.5xx96=48`, which is the same as

• `50%xx96=48`

Let's work with that last one for a minute. We can divide both sides by 96 to get:

`50%=48/96`

What we want to know is What percent of 96 is 24? Let's put the 24 in for the 48, and then do `24/96` to find the percentage:

`24/96=0.25=25%`
