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 91% of 10839.
91% means 91 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 91 from 100, I have X from 10839 :
91 |
100 |
X |
10839 |
100 ----> 91
10839 ----> X
X =91 x 10839 |
100 |
X = (91 x 10839) / 100
X = 9863.49
So, 91% of 10839 is 9863.49.
