That's a great question! The amount of silver in a 50-cent piece really depends on the year it was minted.
According to the information provided, most modern Kennedy half dollars actually contain no silver. However, older issues are a different story. The Kennedy Half Dollar from 1964 is a key example, as it was made with 90% silver, containing 0.3617 troy ounces of the precious metal.
There were also other earlier half dollars that were made with 40% silver. So, to figure out if your 50-cent piece has silver and how much, the most important step is to check the date on the coin.
