Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{50}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 50.

$$\frac{1}{2}+500-200\times 30$$

Convert 500 to fraction \frac{1000}{2}.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1000}{2}-200\times 30$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{1000}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+1000}{2}-200\times 30$$

Add 1 and 1000 to get 1001.

$$\frac{1001}{2}-200\times 30$$

Multiply 200 and 30 to get 6000.

$$\frac{1001}{2}-6000$$

Convert 6000 to fraction \frac{12000}{2}.

$$\frac{1001}{2}-\frac{12000}{2}$$

Since \frac{1001}{2} and \frac{12000}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1001-12000}{2}$$

Subtract 12000 from 1001 to get -10999.

$$-\frac{10999}{2}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{10999}{2} = -5499\frac{1}{2} = -5499.5$$
