Answer 2

「 $\LARGE{\sf{{{\ Solution}}}}$ 」

Let the number = x

↳ According to question :-

$\frac{60}{100} \times x = 36$

↳ To Find :-

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

↳ Let's firstly find the value of x :-

$\frac{60}{100} \times x = 36$

$\implies \frac{3}{5} x = 36$

$\implies 3x = 36 \times 5$

$\implies 3x = 180$

$\implies x = \frac{180}{3}$

$\implies x = 60$

↳ Finally, let us find the 50% of x

$\frac{50}{100} \times 60$

$= 30$

↳ 50 % of the number = 30
