1. **State the problem:** Find 50% of a given number (assuming the number is 2300 as in the previous problem). 2. **Formula:** To find a percentage of a number, use the formula: $\text{Percentage of a number} = \left(\frac{\text{percentage}}{100}\right) \times \text{number}$ 3. **Apply the formula:** Here, the percentage is 50%, and the number is 2300. $50\% = \frac{50}{100} = 0.5$ So, $0.5 \times 2300$ 4. **Calculate:** $0.5 \times 2300 = 1150$ 5. **Answer:** 50% of 2300 is **1150**.
