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 56% of 1520.
56% means 56 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 56 from 100, I have X from 1520 :
56 |
100 |
X |
1520 |
100 ----> 56
1520 ----> X
X =56 x 1520 |
100 |
X = (56 x 1520) / 100
X = 851.2
So, 56% of 1520 is 851.2.
