Calculate Percentage
To calculate a percentage, follow these steps:
Divide the number you want to express as a percentage by the total value. For example, if you want to find out what percentage of 50 is 10, you would divide 10 by 50:
10 ÷ 50 = 0.2
Multiply the result from step 1 by 100 to get the percentage:
0.2 x 100 = 20%
So, 10 is 20% of 50.
Here's another example:
If you scored 85 out of 100 on a test and you want to know your percentage score, you would divide 85 by 100:
85 ÷ 100 = 0.85
Then, you would multiply the result by 100:
0.85 x 100 = 85%
So, your percentage score is 85%.
