Best Answer

A percent is a fraction over 100.

1/100 would be 1%

77/100 = 77%

to find persents of test,quizes, ect. put the points received over points possible. then multiply by 100

44/75 = 0.5866 *100 = 58.66%

33/65 = 0.5077 *100 = 50.77%

12/13 = 0.9231 *100 = 92.31%

the number you want to find the % of, multiply it by the percentage number with a decimal point. ( 100 x .10)

If you want to find what percent a certain number is of another number, divide that number by the one you want a percentage of (10/ 100 is .10, 10%)
