Hint: To find the value of 9% of 50, we have denoted this mathematically. For this, we will denote ‘of’ as a multiplication sign. Then, we have to convert 9% into its number form by dividing 9 by 100. Then, we have to simplify.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We have to find the value of 9% of 50. Let us first denote this mathematically.
=9%×50...(i)
Now, we have to convert 9% in its number form. For this, we have to divide 9 by 100.
=9%=9100
Let us substitute the above value in (i). We will get
=9100×50
Let us simplify the above result. We have to cancel the zero from 100 and 50.
=910\cancel0×5\cancel0
The above operation will result in
=910×5
Let us cancel the common factor 5 from the denominator and 5 in the numerator.
=9\cancel102×\cancel5
The above simplification will result in
=92
Let us write the above result in the decimal form.
2)9.08____   1010____  04.5
Therefore, the decimal of 92 is 4.5.
Hence, 9% of 50 is 92 or 4.5.

Note: Students must know how to convert a number into its percentage form and vise-versa. They must also know to multiply and simplify fractions. They must also know to find the decimal value of a fraction. In mathematics, we usually denote ‘of’ as multiplication. In these types of questions, we must convert the percentage into numbers first and then simplify as much as possible. We must first cancel the common factors so that the simplification will be easier.
