If 50% of the total number of students in the class are male, that means that 50 out of every 100 students are male. If there are 500 students, then 250 of them are male. Example 2. An increase of $0.15 on a price of $2.50 is an increase by a fraction of 0.15 / 2.50 = 0.06. Expressed as a percentage, this is a 6% increase.

At age 45, a woman starting to try to conceive will have no live birth in 50–80 percent of cases. Menopause , or the cessation of menstrual periods , generally occurs in the 40s and 50s and marks the cessation of fertility, although age-related infertility can occur before then. [3]
