The meaning of "percent" (per cent) is "per hundred."

To compute the percent value, do the division then multiply the decimal answer by 100.

Examples :

16 out of 20 -- dividing gives you 0.80, times 100 is 80%

21 out of 84 -- dividing gives you 0.25, times 100 is 25%

You can have more than 100%

1800 compared to 600 -- dividing gives you 3, times 100 means

that 1800 is 300% of 600.
