This depends on what two numbers you have.
For example, a question might ask in this form "If a classroom has 18 boys and 12 girls, what is the percentage of boys?"
To work this out you need to add the boys and girls together so that you know the total number of children in the class... in this case 30. Next you multiply 18 by 100 and divide the result by 30
18 x 100 = 1800 - 1800 / 30 = 60%
In other cases the question might ask for a percentage of a number you are given "If there are 350 cars in a carpark, and 40% of them are red, how many cars of other colours are there in the carpark.
To work this out we need to either find out what 40% of 350 is and subtract it from 350, or we need to find out what 100% - 40% is and multiply that by 350.
350 x 40% = 350 x 0.4 = 140 - 350 - 140 = 190.
190 cars are not red.
or
100% - 40% = 60% - 350 x 60% = 350 x 0.6 = 190.
The answer depends on percentage of WHAT!
Divide the percentage by 100 and that is the value.
You take your percentage and divide it by 100 then times it by your whole number or what you are trying to find the percent of
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%!
a number increase from 500 to 625 find the percentage increase
You cannot measure friendship in percentage terms!
To find the percentage, you multiply by 100, so .2 is 20%.
It is 7000%: add two zeros and the percentage symbol.
percentage of 294 = 29400% 294 * 100% = 29400%
You multiply the percentage by 120, and divide the result by 100.
percentage of 158 = 15800%158 * 100% = 15800%
A percentage is a portion of 100. so to find the calculation of a decreased percentage, you subtract.
