I think you are asking,"If 75% of a sum of money is £600, how do I find 100% of that mmoney?"
In this case notice that 75% is three quarters of £600,
There are many ways to solve the problem.
Because this is a simple case we could say, "If 75% of the amount required equals £600, another 25% would be a third of the 75% and a third of £600 is £200.
Add the £200 to the £600 and you have £800 for the answer.
If the figures are more difficult I would us another method: take this example:
If 85% of a sum of money is £425, how much is all of it?"
So , using 85% = 85/100 85/100 of £S = £425 So 1/100 of £S = £425/85
and 100 hundredths of £S will be (£425/85) * (£425/ 85) * 100 which is the same as saying $425 x 100/85; that means £425 multiplied by 100 over 85.
The answer is £500
Now 100 over 85 is the "upside down" figure for 85% which equals 85 over 100
In other words if 65% of £S is £39 how much is all of it.
Anmswer is found by multiplying £39 by the "upside down" of 65% which is 100 over 65 = £60
Take the number you have out of the whole, then dived it by the whole number. Multiply the resulting number by 100 and that's your percent.Example:What percentage is 7 of 10?7 / 10= .7.7 x 100 = 707 is 70% of 10.
To find a percentage in a whole number, multiply the number by 100%, or put two zeroes and a percent sign after the number.
a as a percentage of b = 100a/b
The answer depends on the percentage. In many real-life cases they are proper fractions and therefore cannot be converted to whole numbers.
If you want to find x percent of a number y then you need to calculate y*(x/100). It makes no difference whether y is a whole number or not.

how do you find a number when a percent of it is known
To find a percentage in a whole number, multiply the number by 100%, or put two zeroes and a percent sign after the number.
You find the percentage equivalent and the round the result to the nearest whole number.
a as a percentage of b = 100a/b
The answer depends on the percentage. In many real-life cases they are proper fractions and therefore cannot be converted to whole numbers.
If you want to find x percent of a number y then you need to calculate y*(x/100). It makes no difference whether y is a whole number or not.
Divide (the known part) by (the percent). The quotient is the whole unknown number.
To find the whole number equivalent of 80%, you multiply the percentage by the whole number. In this case, 80% of the whole number would be 0.80 x 100 = 80. Therefore, the whole number equivalent of 80% is 80.
Divide 100 by the known percentage and multiply the result by the known part. This will calculate the whole. Example: £10 is equal to 25%. Thus the whole = (100/25) * 10 = £40.
To convert a percentage to a whole number, you divide the percentage by 100. Therefore, to find 14 percent as a whole number, you would divide 14 by 100. This calculation results in 0.14 as a decimal. To express this as a whole number, you would multiply 0.14 by 100 to get 14.
