Ryan Richards · Answer 1

50 percent of a number is 7

Set up an equation.

50% * x = 7

0.50 * x = 7

0.50x = 7

Divide 0.50 to both sides:

x = 14

Alma Bernard · Answer 2

50% as a fraction is=1/2.

1/2 of 7=3.

1/2 is 3=7 (always divide by the bottom and times by the top).

7+3=10.

70+30 = 100.

Half 100 is 50.

So 30 or 3 is the number.
