Best Answer

To take a percentage of a price, multiply the price by the decimal equivalent of the percentage, which is the percentage divided by 100.

25 percent of $15.00 = 15 x 0.25 = $3.75

To take a percentage off a price, you can either subtract that number from the original price ($15.00 - $3.75 = $11.25) or multiply the original price by the decimal equivalent of 100 percent minus the discount. (15 x 0.75 = $11.25)

What percentage is 29 out of 41?

41 ÷ 2 = 20.5. So 20.5 is your 50% mark. 29 is obviously larger than 20.5 so you can approximate that your percentage is greater than 50. An estimate would tell you that your percentage would be closer to the 70% mark. Let's figure it out mathematically. 29 ÷ 41 = 0.70731... which is ~ 71.0%.
