To set up a proportion to find 22% of 50, we can write it as:
\[
\frac{22}{100} = \frac{x}{50}
\]
where \( x \) is the unknown value representing 22% of 50.
Now we can use cross multiplication to solve for \( x \):
\[
22 \times 50 = 100 \times x
\]
Calculating the left side:
\[
1100 = 100x
\]
Now, to solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 100:
\[
x = \frac{1100}{100} = 11
\]
Therefore, 22% of 50 is **11**.
\[
\frac{22}{100} = \frac{x}{50}
\]
where \( x \) is the unknown value representing 22% of 50.
Now we can use cross multiplication to solve for \( x \):
\[
22 \times 50 = 100 \times x
\]
Calculating the left side:
\[
1100 = 100x
\]
Now, to solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 100:
\[
x = \frac{1100}{100} = 11
\]
Therefore, 22% of 50 is **11**.
