You would multiply the amount by 1.27 in order to end up with the whole amount (the one) plus .27 of that amount (the .27). See below, and see Discussion for a little more information on why this works.
_______
To put the above in slightly different words as a secondary explanation:
This is because increasing by 27 percent means you are calculating 127% of the original. 127% means 127 per 100 which as a fraction is written as 127/100.
This equals 1.27.
3.8571
Multiply it by 0.30 and get 27
You multiply the amount of minutes by the amount of seconds in a minute. 27*60 The answer is 1620
To find 27 out of 45 as a percentage, you would divide 27 by 45 and then multiply by 100. So, 27 divided by 45 equals 0.6. Multiplying 0.6 by 100 gives you 60%. Therefore, 27 out of 45 is equivalent to 60% as a percentage.
Oh honey, that's an easy one. 27 is about 37.5% of 72. You just divide 27 by 72, multiply by 100, and voila, you've got your answer. Math doesn't have to be a drag, darling.
12.5% increase
50% increase.
To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100: 27 x 100 = 270%
Multiply it by 100 and so it is 27%
8 x 100/27 = 30%
3.8571
125%
27 to 72 is an increase of 166.67%
Multiply it by 0.30 and get 27
First you take the difference between the numbers (45 - 18 = 27). Then take that number and divide it by the original number. So 27/18 = 1.5 Then multiply by 100 for the percent. 1.5 x 100 = 150%.
To find 27 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.27. In this instance, 0.27 x 219 = 59.13. Therefore, 27 percent of 219 is equal to 59.13.
To find 24 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.24. In this instance, 0.24 x 27 = 6.48. Therefore, 24 percent of 27 is equal to 6.48.
