How do you find the answer to 50 percent of 70?

Answer 1

To find 50 percent of 70, you can multiply 70 by 0.50 (which represents 50 percent as a decimal) or divide 70 by 2 (since 50 percent is half of 100 percent). Both methods will give you the same result, which is 35.

Answer 2

To do this problem, you set up a proportion: 50 percent of 100 is equal to what (x) percent of 70? It should look like this:

50/100 = x/70

To solve this problem, divide 50 by 100:

.5 = x/70

To finish the equation, times both sides by 70:

(.5)(70) = (70)(x/70) [The x70 and /70 cancel each other out]

35 = x

So, 50% of 70 is 35.
