How do you calculate half in percentage?

Answer 1

you divide and then multiply by 100 to express as a percent

for instance you probably realize that 10 is 50% of 20 (50% is half because 50 is half of 100)

so, to calculate: 10 is what percent of 20

10/20=.5

100*.5=50

50%

another one

25 is what percent of 100

25/100=.25

.25*100=25

25%

one more

The car cost $21000

The salesman offers you $3000 off

What percent savings is being offered

3000/21000=.1429...

100*.1429=14.3

about 14.3%

got it
