Answer:
To calculate percentages, just divide the part by the total and multiply by 100.
Example: What percentage of 45 is 6? Find 6/45 and multiply it by 100. This gives you 131/3%.
Remember that the "part" can also represent numbers larger than the whole, which gives you a percentage high than 100.
You can also reverse this to find a number instead of a percentage.
Example: What is 35% of 60? Divide 60 by 100 and multiply it by 35. This gives you 21.
It is easier to do this, however, if you multiply the whole by a decimal.
Example: What is 60% of 20? Just multiply 20 by .6, which gives you 12.
Lastly, given a part and the percentage of a whole it represents, you can find the whole by dividing the part by the percentage (in decimal form).
Example: What number is 13 80% of? Divide 13 by .8 to get your answer: 161/4.
sometimes doing percentages are hard so just my easy steps above
