Best Answer

A percentage can be thought of as that number over a hundred. So to find the percentage of a percentage, you can first write both as fractions. For instance, to find 25% of 80%, you would write it as 25/100 of 80/100. Now all you do is multiply top and bottom together:

25x80 = 2,000

100x100 = 10,000

And so the answer is 2000/10000, which can be simplified back to 20/100 and converted to 20%
