38 is 50% of 76.

How can we solve this? Turn the word problem into an equation and then solve. I will break down the words with their mathematical meaning in parentheses:

What percent (X) of (times) 76 is (equals) 38

This translates to:

X*76 = 38

76X=38

X=38/76

X = .5

To convert .5 from a decimal to a percent, multiply it by 100:

.5 * 100 = 50%.
