divide first # by second # and take first two decimals
ex: 2=50% of 4 because 2 divided by 4 is .50
be sure to round up the second decimal if third decimal is 5 or more or just put new decimal point after second number ex: if 1st # divided by second is 0.539 first # is 53.9% of second

How do you figure the percentage of a number?
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 find the percent increase from one number to another?
-- divide the larger number by the smaller one-- subtract '1' from the answer-- multiply what's left by 100You now have the percentage increase from the smaller number to the larger one.
How do you determine percentage of growth from one number to another?
You do the following: 1) Divide the second number by the first. This will give you a factor, for example 1.20. 2) Subtract 1 from the result. This gives you the increase as a factor, for example, 0.20. 3) Multiply the result by 100, to convert to a percentage. In this example, 20%.
How can you find the scale factor from a smaller figure to the larger figure using the scale factor?

What is nine over twenty five as a percentage?
It's 36%. perhaps the better question is how you figure out how one number is a percentage of another. Simple, you divide the numerator by the denominator. Maybe this is to difficult of terminology for you, but one number divided by another is the same as the percentage of the number by that number. Pretty basic really. Kind of what the definition of a percentage is.
How do you figure what percent one number is of another number?
If you take '2' and '4', then 2 is 50% of 4. To calculate that, use (2/4)*100 to get the percentage. So to find out what percentage number 'x' is of number 'y', use (x/y)*100.
