Divide (the known part) by (the percent). The quotient is the whole unknown number.
a as a percentage of b = 100a/b
To find the percentage of a number, multiply the original number by (the number of percent divided by 100). So, in this instance:15 percent of 7000 is equal to (15 / 100) = 0.15 x 7,000 = 1,050.To find percentage decrease of a number, subtract (the number of percentage decrease divided by 100) from the number 1, and multiply the resulting decimal number by the original number.15 percent off 7000 is equal to (1 - 0.15) = 0.85 x 7,000 = 5,950.
To find a given percentage of a number, multiply the number by the percentage and then divide that by 100. So, for 12% of $130, you do: 130
To find a percentage in a whole number, multiply the number by 100%, or put two zeroes and a percent sign after the number.
how do you find a number when a percent of it is known
You take your percentage and divide it by 100 then times it by your whole number or what you are trying to find the percent of
Divide (the known part) by (the percent). The quotient is the whole unknown number.
You find the percentage equivalent and the round the result to the nearest whole number.
a as a percentage of b = 100a/b
Every percentage point is 1/100th of 1. So, if you have a percentage number, move the decimal point two points to the left. 66 percent would be .66, 6 percent would be .06, etc., now to find a percentage of a number, simply multiply this number by the number you're trying to find the percentage of. For instance, 66 percent of 3,600,000 would be .66 x 3,600,000 = 2,376,000
To find the percentage of a number, multiply the original number by (the number of percent divided by 100). So, in this instance:15 percent of 7000 is equal to (15 / 100) = 0.15 x 7,000 = 1,050.To find percentage decrease of a number, subtract (the number of percentage decrease divided by 100) from the number 1, and multiply the resulting decimal number by the original number.15 percent off 7000 is equal to (1 - 0.15) = 0.85 x 7,000 = 5,950.

To find a percentage in a whole number, multiply the number by 100%, or put two zeroes and a percent sign after the number.
The answer depends on what the percentage problem is. The equations will be different depending on whether you want to find:one number as a percentage of another,a given percentage of a number,the percentage change applied to a given number,find the original number if given the number after the percentage change.
simplest form to find out the percentage of a number is to take the percentage (30), turn it into a decimal 30/100 = .30 and multiply by the number that you want the percentage of (215). .30*215=64.5
If 80 percent of a number is 8, then to discover what the number 8 is 80 percent of, divide the number by 0.8. In this instance, 8 / 0.8 = 10.
