Q.

27

is

50\%

of what number?

Understand the problem: Step $1$ : Understand the problem. $\newline$ We need to find a number of which $27$ is $50\%$ . This means $27$ is half of that number. $\newline$ Calculation: Let $x$ be the number we are looking for. Then, $50\%$ of $x$ should equal $27$ . $\newline$ Mathematically, $0.50 \times x = 27$
Solve for x: Step $2$ : Solve for x. $\newline$ To find x, divide $27$ by $0.50$ . $\newline$ Calculation: $x = 27 / 0.50$ $\newline$ $x = 54$
