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 63% of 1007.
63% means 63 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 63 from 100, I have X from 1007 :
63 |
100 |
X |
1007 |
100 ----> 63
1007 ----> X
X =63 x 1007 |
100 |
X = (63 x 1007) / 100
X = 634.41
So, 63% of 1007 is 634.41.
