Divide a given number by the whole number and multiply by 100, and you have a percentage.
Example:
Q: 8 is what percentage of 40?
A: 8 divided by 40 times 100 = 20 ...so 8 is 20% of 40.
16
160
30
To change a whole number to a percent, add two zeros (for the "cent" = 100 in per cent). 1 = 100% 40,000 = 4,000,000 per cent
Subtract the budget from the number that was actually spent. Divide that number by the budget.The budget was 10, the actual expenditure was 13.13 - 10 = 33 divided by 10 is 30 per cent
25% of the number would be 5 times as large as 5% So, 5 times as large as 16 is 80. Answer = 80.

100 in latin is cent - that's why there's 100 in a dollar. A ratio per 100 is per cent - percent =)
Expressed as a fraction, 30 per cent is equal to 3 / 10. Finding 30 per cent of a number is the same as finding three tenths of that number.
68 per cent means that either you learned 68 per cent of the information or your accuracy is 68 per cent. In mathematical terms though, 68 as a number is great in math, because without the number 68, the 69th number would be 70, and 70'ing with your girlfriend just is not.... not pretty.
