Question

How to find the percentage of something?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of something, you can use the following formula:

Percentage = (Part/Whole) x 100

1. Determine the value of the part you want to find as a percentage.
2. Determine the value of the whole or the total amount.
3. Divide the part by the whole.
4. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

For example, let's say you want to find the percentage of 30 out of 100:

Percentage = (30/100) x 100
Percentage = 30

So, 30 is 30% of 100.

Alternatively, if you know the percentage and want to find the part, you can rearrange the formula as:

Part = (Percentage/100) x Whole

Let's say you want to find the part that represents 20% of 80:

Part = (20/100) x 80
Part = 16

So, 16 is 20% of 80.
