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 84% of 305.
84% means 84 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 84 from 100, I have X from 305 :
84 |
100 |
X |
305 |
100 ----> 84
305 ----> X
X =84 x 305 |
100 |
X = (84 x 305) / 100
X = 256.2
So, 84% of 305 is 256.2.
