Understanding Percentages

A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%". Percentages provide a simple way to standardize different quantities for the purpose of comparison.

1. How to Calculate "What is X% of Y?"

This is the most common percentage problem. The formula is to convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply it by the total value.

Formula: Result = (X / 100) * Y

Example: What is 15% of 200?
(15 / 100) * 200 = 0.15 * 200 = 30

2. How to Calculate "X is what percent of Y?"

To find what percentage one number is of another, you divide the part by the whole and then multiply by 100.

Formula: Result = (X / Y) * 100

Example: 50 is what percent of 200?
(50 / 200) * 100 = 0.25 * 100 = 25%

3. How to Calculate Percentage Increase or Decrease

To find the percentage change between two numbers, you subtract the old value from the new value, divide by the old value, and then multiply by 100.

Formula: Result = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) * 100

Example: What is the percentage increase from 150 to 200?
((200 - 150) / 150) * 100 = (50 / 150) * 100 ≈ 33.33%
