You can't just figure out a percentage of a single number, the number needs to be relative to something. For example, the number 6 is 6% of 100, but it's 600% of 1. So, if you have the relative number, you calculate percentage like this:
% = (Np/Nr)X100
Where Np is the number that you're trying to find the percentage of in relation to Nr.
So, using one of my examples from above, Np = 6 and Nr = 100, you get, through simple substitution, % = (6/100)X100 = 600/100 = 6

How do you change a number into a percentage?
AnswerIf its a number under 100 (lets say 63) it would just equal 63% now over 100. AnswerYou cannot change a single number, by itself, to a percentage. A percentage tells you how much of a total you may have. So if you have the number 77, alone, you cannot make it a percentage. However, if you know you have 77 out of 100 framises, then 77 represents 77 percent of all the framises. However, if you have 77 out of 200 framises, then 77 represents 38.5 percent of all the framises.So to make a number into a percentage, you take that number, divide it by the total and multiply the result by 100. But you must have that second number, the total, before you can make a percentage.
