30% of what missing number = 50?

Detailed calculations and the verification of the result

A brief introduction. Percent, p%

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

30% = 30 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100

30% = 30/100 = 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3

100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1

What does it mean: Percentage of 30% of which number is equal to 50?

30% of what number = 50

... is equivalent to multiplying them:

30% × number = 50

Number calculation, finding the missing unknown number

Percentage of 30% of what number = 50?

Let y be the number that we have to calculate.

30% × y = 50 =>

y =

50 ÷ 30% =

50 ÷ (30 ÷ 100) =

(100 × 50) ÷ 30 =

5,000 ÷ 30 ≈

166.666666666667 ≈

166.67

30% of 166.67 ≈ 50

Proof of the calculations

How do we check the result?

We carry out the reverse operation:

If 30% × 166.666666666667 = 50 =>

Divide the number 50 by the number 166.666666666667...

... And see if we get as a result: 30%

A quick note:

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,
... and its value doesn't change.

100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1

n/100 = n%, any number.

Calculate the percentage value: See if we get the percentage of 30%

We will prove below that the calculations are correct.

50 ÷ 166.666666666667 ≈

0.299999999999999 =

0.299999999999999 × 100/100 =

(0.299999999999999 × 100)/100 ≈

30/100 =

30%

Three examples of problems that can be solved out using the information in this section:

• Problem 1:

• 25% of the annual profit of a company was invested in buying some new equipment. The total amount invested in buying the new equipment was 100,000 dollars. What was the annual profit of the company?
• Rewrite: 25% of the Profit means 100,000 dollars => 25% × Profit = 100,000 dollars => Profit = 100,000 ÷ 25% dollars = 100,000 ÷ 25/100 dollars = 100,000 × 100/25 dollars = 100,000 × 4 dollars = 400,000 dollars;

• Problem 2:

• A number of 20% of the students in the terminal year have enrolled into the swimming class. In total, 7 students have enrolled. How many students are in the terminal year?
• Rewrite: 20% of the students means 7 students => 20% × Total number of students = 7 => The total number of students = 7 ÷ 20% = 7 ÷ 20/100 = 7 × 100/20 = 7 × 5 = 35;

• Problem 3:

• In the last elections 49% of community memebrs voted for the A Party, 32% for the B Party, and the rest for the C Party. 17,920 people voted for the B Party. How many members are in the community, all in all?
• Rewrite: 32% of the total community members means 17,920 people => 32% × The total number of community members = 17,920 => The total number of community members = 17,920 ÷ 32% people = 17,920 ÷ 32/100 people = 17,920 × 100/32 people = 17,920/32 × 100 = 560 × 100 people = 56,000 people.

Detailed calculations and the verification of the result

A brief introduction. Percent, p%

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

50% = 50 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100

50% = 50/100 = 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5

100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1

What does it mean: Percentage of 50% of which number is equal to 30?

50% of what number = 30

... is equivalent to multiplying them:

50% × number = 30

Number calculation, finding the missing unknown number

Percentage of 50% of what number = 30?

Let y be the number that we have to calculate.

50% × y = 30 =>

y =

30 ÷ 50% =

30 ÷ (50 ÷ 100) =

(100 × 30) ÷ 50 =

3,000 ÷ 50 =

60

50% of 60 = 30

Proof of the calculations

How do we check the result?

We carry out the reverse operation:

If 50% × 60 = 30 =>

Divide the number 30 by the number 60...

... And see if we get as a result: 50%

A quick note:

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,
... and its value doesn't change.

100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1

n/100 = n%, any number.

Calculate the percentage value: See if we get the percentage of 50%

We will prove below that the calculations are correct.

30 ÷ 60 =

0.5 =

0.5 × 100/100 =

(0.5 × 100)/100 =

50/100 =

The answer:

Percentage of 50% of what number = 30? 50% × ? = 30 50% of 60 = 30
