Question

50 percent of it is 14 ​

Answer 1

In context to the question it is asked to find 14 is 50 percent of what number?

so let us assume the number is =x

now as per the definition of percent it means division by 100

hence we put the value of x and other with equation of percentage as follows

$50 \times x =14\\\frac{50}{100}\times x =14$

now multiply both side by 100 and divide by 50

$x=14\times \frac{100}{50}$

so we get

$x = 28$

for confirming your answer you can use the calculator by entering the value we get

$14\times 100\div 50$

answer obtained =28

hence 28 is the number

Answer 2

The given data in the question is as below

$50$ Percentage of it is $14$

We have to find the value of original value

Let the original value be $x$.

⇒ $50$ % of $x$ is $14$

⇒$\frac{50}{100} \times x=14$

⇒By shifting  $50$ to right side of denominator and $100$ right side of numerator

we get,

⇒$x=\frac{14\times 100}{50}$

By divide $100$ by $50$ we get,

⇒$x=14\times2$

⇒$x=28$

Therefore, the original value is equal to $28.$
