The easy method to to calculate percentages of any Value
Everyone knows that there are arithmetic operations that we need on a daily basis, and among these operations we find the process of calculating the percentage value of a certain number (total value) to determine, for example:
One percent is one hundredth. To indicate this, we use the % sign. So 5 percent is equal to 5%, 0.05, 5/100, or five hundredths. It's that simple! That's all very well, but most of the time we don't just use percentages. Sometimes, we want to represent the ratio between 2 numbers.
we want to calculate 20% of 2025.
20% means 20 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 20 from 100, I have X from 2025 :
| 20 |
| 100 |
| X |
| 2025 |
100 ----> 20
2025 ----> X
X =| 20 x 2025 |
| 100 |
X = (20 x 2025) / 100
X = 405
So, 20% of 2025 is 405.
