If you scored 40 in a test where the total mark was 50. The percetnage you achieved would be your mark divided by the total possible ad timesed by a hundred:
(40/50) x 100 = 80%
So devide the number by the maximum to make it into a fraction, and then times by a hundred. This is why (for lower level mathematics) percentages are said to never exceed 100% as one could never get more than 50 out of 50 on the test:
(50/50) x 100 = 100%. 100% is the maximum.
a number increase from 500 to 625 find the percentage increase
You take your percentage and divide it by 100 then times it by your whole number or what you are trying to find the percent of
simplest form to find out the percentage of a number is to take the percentage (30), turn it into a decimal 30/100 = .30 and multiply by the number that you want the percentage of (215). .30*215=64.5
say the number you start out with is A, and the number it becomes is B. to find the percentage, you must subtract A-B. Then divide the answer by A and multiply by 100% to get the percentage. (A-B)/A * 100% ex. 10 is the number you start with, 4 is the second number. So A=10 and B=4 10-4=6 6/10=0.6 multiply by 100% to get the percentage 60% so the percent of decrease is 60%
In order to find x percent of any number the general way of doing that is to multiply the number by the percentage. Since percentage means hundredths of any number, percentages are written with the decimal point moved two places toward the left-hand side. Your Done!
a number increase from 500 to 625 find the percentage increase
I guess you mean find the percentage of one number of another, eg what percentage of 100 is 30: Divide the number for which the percentage of the other is required by the other number (making it a fraction of the second number) and multiply it by 100 %.
The answer depends on whether you wish to find one number as a percentage of another or if you want a given percentage of a number.
find it urself fool
You take your percentage and divide it by 100 then times it by your whole number or what you are trying to find the percent of
To find the percentage of one number you divide the numbers then multiply the answer by 100. For an example, if you want to find the percentage of four that the number three is you divide three by four and then multiply the result ,which is 0.75, by 100 and your result or percentage would be 75%!
Number of total marks x100
For save percentage, you divide the number of saves over the number of shots on goal.
The answer depends on what the percentage problem is. The equations will be different depending on whether you want to find:one number as a percentage of another,a given percentage of a number,the percentage change applied to a given number,find the original number if given the number after the percentage change.
Get the denominator to be 100.
A percentage is a portion of 100. so to find the calculation of a decreased percentage, you subtract.
To find the percentage of a number, multiply the number by the percentage expressed as a decimal or fraction. For example, to find 20% of 80, multiply 80 by 0.20 or 1/5. This will give you the answer of 16.
