Answer 1

Answer:

p = 59 percent to the nearest whole percent

Step-by-step explanation:

What percent of 85 is 50

p* 85 = 50

p = 50/85

p=.588235294

to change to a percent, multiply by 100

p = 58.824 percent

p = 59 percent to the nearest whole percent

Y=P% *X
Y=50% *85

P=50%/100=0.5

Y=0.5 * 85
Y=42.5
