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 42% of 9520.
42% means 42 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 42 from 100, I have X from 9520 :
| 42 |
| 100 |
| X |
| 9520 |
100 ----> 42
9520 ----> X
X =| 42 x 9520 |
| 100 |
X = (42 x 9520) / 100
X = 3998.4
So, 42% of 9520 is 3998.4.
