Percentage Calculation: Calculating Percentages

To calculate percentages, follow these steps:

1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: Divide the percentage by 100.

2. Multiply the decimal by the whole number or value you want to find the percentage of.
3. Round the result to the desired number of decimal places, if necessary.

Example: To calculate 25% of 80, follow these steps:

1. Convert 25% to a decimal: 25 / 100 = 0.25

2. Multiply 0.25 by 80: 0.25 * 80 = 20
3. The result is 20, which is 25% of 80.

Remember to always check your answer and round if necessary.

Percentage Calculation

Calculating Percentages

To calculate percentages, follow these steps:

1. Identify the total or whole value. This is the base value that the percentage will be
calculated from.
2. Identify the part or portion of the total value that you want to find the percentage of.
3. Divide the part value by the total value.
4. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Example:

Question: What is 20% of 150?

Solution: 1. Total value: 150 2. Part value: Unknown (we want to find 20% of 150) 3. Divide
the part value by the total value: (20/100) * 150 = 30 4. Multiply the result by 100 to get the
percentage: 30%

Remember to always check your answer to make sure it is reasonable and makes sense in
the context of the problem.
