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 50% of 6267.
50% means 50 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 50 from 100, I have X from 6267 :
50 |
100 |
X |
6267 |
100 ----> 50
6267 ----> X
X =50 x 6267 |
100 |
X = (50 x 6267) / 100
X = 3133.5
So, 50% of 6267 is 3133.5.
