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 9% of 94889.
9% means 9 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 9 from 100, I have X from 94889 :
9 |
100 |
X |
94889 |
100 ----> 9
94889 ----> X
X =9 x 94889 |
100 |
X = (9 x 94889) / 100
X = 8540.01
So, 9% of 94889 is 8540.01.
