What is 50 percent of the number is 28?

Answer 1

Solution 1:

Base = Percentage /Rate

= 28/50%

but 50% = 0.5

= 28/0.5

= 56

Solution 2:

Let N = the number

50% of N = 28

50% x N = 28

0.5 N = 28

divide both sides of the equation by 0.5

0.5N/0.5 = 28/0.5

N = 56

therefore, 50% of 56 is 28.
