50% of what number is 31

50% is another way to say 1/2.

The easiest way to answer this question is to multiply 31 by 2 because it 31 is half of a number, then the other half is the same as 31 ... so 31 x 2 = 62

So 50% of 62 is 31

To find 50% or half, of 31, you can just add 31 + 31.

Or, 31 x 2.

Or even the longer way, we know 3 + 3 = 6. So we can just add 0's: 30 + 30 = 60. That leaves us with the 1's. 1 + 1 = 2.

Take our 60 from earlier, and add 2. 60 + 2 = 62.

Check your answer. 62/2 = 31.

Your answer is 62
