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 98% of 1520.
98% means 98 for each 100. So the approach would be: if I have 98 from 100, I have X from 1520 :
98 |
100 |
X |
1520 |
100 ----> 98
1520 ----> X
X =98 x 1520 |
100 |
X = (98 x 1520) / 100
X = 1489.6
So, 98% of 1520 is 1489.6.
