0.66 = 1-34/100
First, you change the percent to a decimal. 34% is 34/100, which equals .34 You multiply .34 and 50 together and you get 17. So 34% of 50 is 17. You can check your answer by thinking about it logically. You know that 50% of 50 is 25, so 34% has to be smaller than 25, but not by much. 17 is then a logical answer.
400*0.34 = 136 all you need to do to find a percent is divide the percentage by 100, and multiply this decimal number by the total. So here, I have divided 34 by 100 to give 0.34, and then multiplied this by our total of 400 to give 136.
Divide the figure (usually the smaller one) into the base figure (usually larger). Then to get the percent figure, multiply the fraction by a hundred. For example, in a class 34 students, 11 are male, what percent of the class is male? 11/34=0.32 then 0.32X100=32%.
34 is 61.82% of 55.
