What sort of percentage do you mean? Say you want to work out the price of an apple costing $0.20 as a percentage of your total bill, which is say $60.

Multiply the 0.20 by 100 to get 20, then divide by 60.

From 20/60, notice both are divisible by 10, to get 2/6.

Both 2 and 6 divide by 2, so you have 2/3. This means that the apple is 2/3 of 1 percent of your bill, or 0.67%, rounding to 2 decimal places.
