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 8% of 14909.
8% means 8 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 8 from 100, I have X from 14909 :
8 |
100 |
X |
14909 |
100 ----> 8
14909 ----> X
X =8 x 14909 |
100 |
X = (8 x 14909) / 100
X = 1192.72
So, 8% of 14909 is 1192.72.
