1. ### Calculate 50 is what % of 300?

Step 1 :

From the above equation, we can label the given quantities as,

a=300, b=50, x=?

Step 2 :

The equation is given by,

a$\times$ $\frac{x}{100}$=b

300$\times$ $\frac{x}{100}$=50

3x=50

x=$\frac{50}{3}$=16.667%

By using the above equation, we can say the given parameters are,

a=200, b=45

Step 2 :

The equation is given by,

a$\times$ $\frac{x}{100}$=b

200$\times$ $\frac{x}{100}$=45

2x=45

x=$\frac{45}{2}$=22.5%
