Answer

$20%$

Work Step by Step

We have: $\text{part}=x\cdot \text{whole}$ where $x$ is the percent which the part represents from the whole. Let $x$ be the percent we are looking for. Here the part is $10$ and the whole is $50$. $x\cdot50=10$ Divide both sides by $50$ to isolate $x$ and simplify the fraction: $x=\frac{10}{50}=\frac{1}{5}$ Convert fraction into percent: $\frac{1}{5}=20\%$
