Percent means out of a whole, and is found by getting out of 100. For example, 20% of 100 is 20, and 20% of 10 is 2. However, if you were to find a percentage like 15% of 80, or 5% of 25, then you would need to know the fractions or decimals that percentages represent. 10% is 1/10 or 0.1, and you divide the whole number by 10 to get the answer. 50% is 1/2 or 0.5, and you would find it by halving the whole number. In addition, a shot way of finding things like 25% (1/4) or 5% is to halve a percentage that you can easily deal with, such as 50%, which you would halve to get 25%, and 10% which you would halve to get 5%. You can also add together easily found percentages, as well as take away.
To easily find this, find a scientific calculator and divide the whole with the fraction that the percentage equals to (press the button with the little square above and below a line and type in the fraction),or get a normal calculator and divide the whole by the decimal.

It means that you find out the size of part of the number but not all of it.
You find the height, length and the width and you multiple them together then you will get the answer.
Let's say 1=100% .25=? =25 Divide .25 by 1, then multiply the answer by 100. You will get 25 which means .25 is 25% of 1 Sorry but I don't know how to explain further...
40% of 200 is 80. To find, multiply 200 by 0.4.
