'is' over 'of' equals percentage over 100
ex. 45 percent of 842 is what?
answer. x/842 = 45%/100
cross multiply 45 times 842 -you get 37890
then divide that by 100 and your answer is 378.9
378.9 is 45% of 842
Divide ' 100 X ' by ' N '. The answer is the number.
to figure this out do: 65.86 x .12 you multiply the number by the percent (turn it into a decimal) the answer is: 7.9032
50% of 96 is 48. You can figure this out simply by knowing that 50%=1/2, or you can use the percent equation: is=% x of. In this case, the equation would be: x=0.5 x 96.
To convert a number to a percent, multiply by 100.I'll try to illustrate by example.Example:100 is what percent of 1000?Set up an equation:100= 1000x where x is a fraction.Solve: x=1/10.to convert to percent--multiply by 100.1/10=10%Example #2:5 is what percent of 10?Set up the equation:5=10x (x is a fraction).Solve: x=1/2multiply by 100 to convert fractions to percents:(1/2) X 100 = 50%View #2To rephrase your question, A is what percent of B. This is the formula. A/B = X/100.You multiply A by 100 and divide B into the answer to get X which is your percent.
To find 15 percent of any number, simply multiply the number by 0.15
Divide ' 100 X ' by ' N '. The answer is the number.

50% of 96 is 48. You can figure this out simply by knowing that 50%=1/2, or you can use the percent equation: is=% x of. In this case, the equation would be: x=0.5 x 96.
8 percent of X cannot be 13 of X.
16 is 18% of x 16 = 18% * x 16/0.18 = x 88.88... repeating = x ( I'm not sure how to put the bar on top)

Two choices: -- Multiply (the number) x (the percent using the percent % key). -- Multiply (the number) x (the percent), then divide the answer by 100. Either way, the claculator displays that many percent of that number.
70 percent of what number (call the number "x") is 252, so; 0.7 * x = 252 x = 252 / 0.7 x = 360
Percent means " per 100." To calculate percentages convert the percent to a decimal. 7.25 / 100 = .0725. Then multiply the number you are trying to figure out the percentage of by this decimal. 89.75 x .0725 = 6.507 .
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.
First, change the percent to a decimal by dividing it by 100. Next, take that result and multiply it by the other number:5 / 100 = 0.050.05 x 6.60 = 0.33
50% of a number, X, is 0.50X 54% of a number,X, is 0.54X .54X/.50 X = 1.08 = 8% increase
