What is 79 percent of 122?

Answer 1

There's an easy logical way to deal with percentages.

This amount that you've got (122) is basically 100%. The amount you've got in your hand is 100%.

So this means:

100% = 122

Now simply divide by 100. In doing so, you will find what 1% is. So:

1% = 122/100

1% = 1.22

Now that you know what 1% is, simply multiply up to whatever you want to find. In this case, you want to find 79% so multiply the value of your 1% by 79

79% = 1.22 x 79

79% = 96.38

That's it. So simply divide by 100, and multiply by the actual percentage you want. Using this same trick you can find:

67% of 514.

(Just divide by 100, multiply by 67)

32% of 125.

(Just divide by 100, multiply by 32)

3% of 85.

(Just divide by 100, multiply by 3)

Hope that helps.
