What percentage is 15 of 70?
Part 15 by 70 and you get 0.21428(...). Seeing as a percentage is a number out of 100 instead of 70, if you multiply 0.21428(...) by 100, you get the percentage: 21.43 % (rounded up to two digits after the period).
How do you change 4.95 to a percentage which will lead me to add the percentage to the price?
To add 4.95% to the price, change the percentage to a decimal. This is how it is done....100 x 4.95% = .0495 To get the markup only, multiply the price times .0495. (example $100 x .0495 = $4.95) To get the final price instead, add 1 to the above number and multiply the price times 1.0495 (example $100 x 1.0495 = $104.95)
What is 1.38 meters in feet?
1 foot is exactly 0.3048 meters, so you can divide the total number of meters by this number. For an approximate calculation, you can divide the number of meters by 0.3, or multiply by 3.3, instead.
Is one plus one eleven?
No, one plus one is two. Ten plus one is eleven. Note: some persons with a certain disease (I don't remember it's name), may have problems with addition or other calculation processes, since they think not of the value of each number, but of it's form and (like in this question) adds them instead, like when building something out of lego. Thus, this percentage of the people think it's very logical that 1 + 1 makes 11, as they think of the form and not the value (one plus one). Calculation 44 + 22 would make 4422 instead of the correct answer 66, like la + mp would make lamp). They may understand better if you write the numbers out. Instead of 1, write one etc. The answer to this question still remains no, as my predecessor has stated.
What is 918 out of 3400?
Instead of "out of" say divide. 918 divided by 3400 can be written as a fraction where 918 is the numerator and 3400 is the denominator. When you divide, you get 0.27. When you multiply 0.27 by 100 you get a percentage, so 918 is 27% of 3400.
What are the steps of the estimating process?
They are:Replace the numbers in the question with approximate valuesCarry out the calculation using them instead of the exact numbers.

Why do you get an error regarding punctuation when you try to post a question?
You have tried to use punctuation other than a hyphen or question mark. After a question is asked you may add a hyphen, period, or apostrophe. If you are asking math question, use words instead of punctuation - (ex. add instead of + , subtract or minus instead - , multiply instead of * ).
What is the difference between a markup and a discount?
the difference is that instead of subtracting for discount you add for markup ex:markup a store buys a jacket for $5 in order to earn cash they do markup which is when you multiply a percentage with the cost of the product. so lets say the percentage is 90% so multiply them both then you must add them.

How do you calculate a percentage?
To calculate percentages, just divide the part by the total and multiply by 100.Example: What percentage of 45 is 6? Find 6/45 and multiply it by 100. This gives you 131/3%.Remember that the "part" can also represent numbers larger than the whole, which gives you a percentage high than 100.You can also reverse this to find a number instead of a percentage.Example: What is 35% of 60? Divide 60 by 100 and multiply it by 35. This gives you 21.It is easier to do this, however, if you multiply the whole by a decimal.Example: What is 60% of 20? Just multiply 20 by .6, which gives you 12.Lastly, given a part and the percentage of a whole it represents, you can find the whole by dividing the part by the percentage (in decimal form).Example: What number is 13 80% of? Divide 13 by .8 to get your answer: 161/4.sometimes doing percentages are hard so just my easy steps aboveGood question, but the question is, percentage of what?percentage of the totalWhat i mean by this is working out a percentage of a total of something . So if you wanted to know what percentage of apples are green and what are red for example:green: 32red: 59add them together = 91for the percentage of green apples = number of green apples / total number ofapples number x 100so, 32 / 91 = 0.3516 x 100 = 35.16%Percentage of eachotherHow to work out how many green apples there are in relation to red=32 / 59 x 100 = 54.24%Percentage increase of green apples to red59 - 32 = 2727 / 32 x 100 = 84.37%there are quite a few variations

Similar to percentage; except that you use a factor of 1000 instead of a factor of 100: Divide one number by another, and multiply the result by 1000 to get "parts per thousand".
