How do you find percentage?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of one number you divide the numbers then multiply the answer by 100. For an example, if you want to find the percentage of four that the number three is you divide three by four and then multiply the result ,which is 0.75, by 100 and your result or percentage would be 75%!

Answer 2

The simplest way to calculate percentage is to divide the given amount by the total amount and then multiplying the answer by 100 to get the percentage of the given amount with respect to the total amount.

The equation can be put up as follows:

(Given amount/ Total amount) x100

For example if John scores 60 out of 75 in mathematics we can find the percentage of his marks by dividing 60 by 75 which comes to be 0.8 and then multiplying it by 100 which gives us the percentage of his marks in math which is 80%.

(60/75) x 100 = 80%
