SOLUTION
Step1:Write out the formula
[tex]\frac{\text{portion}}{base}=\frac{rate\text{ }}{100}[/tex]Step2; write out the parameters
[tex]\begin{gathered} portion=50 \\ \text{Base}=244 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step3: Substitute into the formula and simplify
[tex]\frac{50}{244}=\frac{rate}{100}[/tex]Step4: simplify the expression above
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Multiply both side by 244} \\ \text{rate}\times244=100\times50 \\ \text{then} \\ \text{ Rate=}\frac{100\times50}{244} \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the rate becomes
[tex]20.49\text{ }[/tex]Therefore the rate is 20.49
