What is 50 out of 84 in percent?

Answer 1

In order to calculate a percentage we must take the number of things which meet a criteria we are interested in and divide this by the total number of things and then multiply by 100.

We take the number of cats who meet the criteria we are interested in (i.e. 50)

50/84 * 100
