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 89% of 1642.
89% means 89 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 89 from 100, I have X from 1642 :
89 |
100 |
X |
1642 |
100 ----> 89
1642 ----> X
X =89 x 1642 |
100 |
X = (89 x 1642) / 100
X = 1461.38
So, 89% of 1642 is 1461.38.
