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 7% of 1431.
7% means 7 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 7 from 100, I have X from 1431 :
| 7 |
| 100 |
| X |
| 1431 |
100 ----> 7
1431 ----> X
X =| 7 x 1431 |
| 100 |
X = (7 x 1431) / 100
X = 100.17
So, 7% of 1431 is 100.17.
