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 69% of 77896.
69% means 69 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 69 from 100, I have X from 77896 :
69 |
100 |
X |
77896 |
100 ----> 69
77896 ----> X
X =69 x 77896 |
100 |
X = (69 x 77896) / 100
X = 53748.24
So, 69% of 77896 is 53748.24.
