10% is 42.5, u just move the decimal place over.\nmultiply that by 4.5  (4.5*10%=45%)\n4.5*42.5=191.25

The first thing to remember about percentages is that they represent a fraction who's denominator (bottom term) is 100 - for example, 40% is the same as 40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5.  And the second is something I learned in math class about 40 years ago about percentage word problems - "percent" over "100" equals "is" over "of".  Burn that into your brain.  How do you use it? In your problem, "40" is the "percent", and "85" is the "of" (because it comes right after the "of"). So using the rule, your problem is:\n\n40/100 = is/85\n\nThere's no "is" in you problem, therefore it must be the answer we have to solve for, right?  So now you cross-multiply:\n\n40*85 = 3400, and 3400/100 = 34, which is the answer.\n\nWhat if your problem asked, "What percent of 85 is 34?" \n\n34 is the "is" since it comes right after the word "is" in the problem, and 85 is still the "of" since it comes right after the "of", and since the problem asks "What percent...", percent is what we have to solve for.  So using the rule, the problem sets up to:\n\npercent/100 = 34/85 \n\nNow cross multiply again:\n 34*100 = 3400, and 3400/85 = 40, so 40 is the "percent", and therefore the answer!  One more example: "34 is 40% of what?"  This time, it looks like "of" is what we have to find, so the problem sets up to:\n\n40/100 = 34/"of"\n\nCross multiply again:\n\n100*34 = 3400, and 3400/40 = 85\n\nSee how easy percentage word problems are?  Practice 30 problems like this, and don't forget that "percent over 100 equals "is" over "of", and remember how to cross-multiply.\n\nGaryH

It is 4.8 percent of 323,494.\n\nYou take 15,678.72 and divide it by 323494.  That will give you the decimal answer.  Multiply that by 100 and you will get the percentage.

put 80 over 50 and set it equal to x/100\n\nx shoudl equal 160\n\ntherefore 160%

I do percentages where I work. Okay say that I ran 1200 parts and I had 150 bad parts and I want to know the percentage of bad(scrap parts). \n\n% of scrap = (150/1200)*100 = 12.5%\n\nenter in calculator as i wrote it 150 divided by 1200 then multiplied by 100 to get you the percentage.

A percent is part of 100.  So 5% = 5/100 = .05.\nOnce you have the decimal just multiply the numbers.\n.05x14.00\n.15x25\n.28x600000

If I am intepretting your question correctly, you want 1 and 1/5 in a percentage.  I think we just simply convert 1 1/5 to a decimal value.  That would be 6/5ths or 1.2 * 100 or 120.\n\nHope that answers the question.

To calculate percentage:\n\nDivide the part by the whole.  10 cats out of  100 cats is equal to 10 divided by 100 or .10. You then you multiple by 100 to get the percentage.   .10 times 100 equals 10 percent.\n\nIf you know the percentage:\n\nDivide by 100 and then multiple the whole by the resulting number to get the portion. 10 percent of 100 cats equals 10 divided by 100 times 100. 10 divided by 100 equals .10 now .10 times 100 equals 10 or 10 cats out of 100 cats.

move the decimal point two places to the right (or multiply by 100)\n\nso\n\n0.005049 becomes 0.5049 %

take 12 divided by 16. Then multiply by 100 for the percent. The answer to that is 75%. You can do the rest.

Ya if you ever need to find a percent of something multi. by 100 or just move the decemial 2 spaces to the right. That does the same thing as Multi. by 100.

Take your calculator for any similar problem and divide, in this case, 60 by 75 and multiply by the decimal result by 100 and you will have a percentage. This works for all numbers. Take for example what is 19 of 20. Divide 19 by 20 and multiply time 100 and you will have 95%. This is how it is done.

To convert a percent to a decimal all you do is move the decimal point two places to the left. For example:\n15%=.15\n(the decimal point was at the end of 15 and it was moved 2 places to the left)\n\n1.)27%=0.27\n2.)70%=0.70 \n3.)6%=0.06\n 4.)1%=0.01\n 5.) 18.5%=0.185\n 6.)2.2%=0.022\n 7.)15 1/2%=15.5%=0.155\n8.)30 1/4%=30.25%=0.3025

To convert a decimal into a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right and add the % sign. If there are fewer than two places to the right of the decimal, add zeros at the end of the number after the decimal point. For example, 0.986 = 98.6% and 1.8 = 1.80 = 180%. \n\nTo convert a percent into a decimal, move the decimal point 2 places to the left and drop the percent sign. 36% becomes 0.36, and 145% becomes 1.45. If the number in front of the percent has fewer than two places in front of the decimal, add zeros to the left of the number, and then move the decimal place. For example, 5% = 05% = 0.05 and 1.78% = 01.78% = 0.0178.

% means divided by 100 so you just move the decimal 2 places to the left & drop the % sign\n7.8%=.078
