A percentage is just a way of expressing something in fraction of 1/100\n\n50% (half) is 50 hundredths, right?\n\nso if you wish to express 1,844 out of 61,853 as a percentage, convert it to hundredths:\n\n(1,844 divided by 61,853) X 100 = 2.98%

for these types of problems. all u have to do is change around the words to symbols, and then u got ur equation\n\njust remember "is" is the same thing as =\njust remember "of" is the same thing as * or times (multiplication)\n\n0.06 is what percent of 250\n0.06 = n% times 250\n (divide 0.06 by 250)\nsolve\n\ndo the same thing for the other problem

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.

If you need to work this out the long way in order to understand it, the best thing to do would be to cross multiply.  A percentage is always out of 100...so, figure out the total number of games first:\n\n22+10=32, So, they have won 22/32 games--now is where you cross multiply to figure that out as a percentage:\n\n22/32=?/100\n\nTo find out the ? you multiply the top number from one set (in this case, the 22 from 22/32) by the bottom number in the other set (?/100) and then divide it by the remaining number.\n\nSo, (22*100) / 32 \n= 2200/32\n=68.75\n\nDo the same for the second question:\n\n26 + 8 = 34\n\n26/34 = ?/100\n(26*100) /34\n=2600 / 34\n=76.47\n\nI know that's a lot more information than the people who have just given you the answer, but I want to help you understand how to do it yourself so that you know what you're doing on a test.\n\nI hope you understand how I worked it out.

if the data is a number, for instance:\n25 people out of 360 people\nyou would first divide 25 by 360\nthen multiply that by 100\nthat answer is the percent\n\n\nhope that helps! email me at blackbeltgal162@aol.com if you need any more help

Is       %\n--- = ---\nOf    100\n\nThat is the popertion. If you are trying to find what a percent of a number is, that is what you use.\n\nFor example: 15 is what percent of 65?\n\nthis is how you would set it up. \n1. Find your is. That would be 15 because that # is always a part of the whole.( If this number is not given, you put an X in that spot.)\n2. Find your of. That would be 65 because this # is the total amount. The number that is the whole. (If that number is not given, put and X in that spot.)\n3. Find your percent. In this question, that is what we are looking for. We don't know the percentage so we put an X there. (If a percent is given you put that number in the % spot.)\n\nThen you cross multiply. YOu multiply the *of* by the *%*, and multiply the *is* by the 100.\n\nThat will give you an equation. In this example you would have:\n15          X\n---- = ----\n65     100\n\nThen you would have 65X = 1500.\nThen divide the 65X and the 1500 by 65. Then you would have:\nX = 23. 076923.... Then you would say that 15 is 23% of 65.\n\nThe END!

Sounds like a homework problem.  Not going to give you the answer, but I will tell you how to get it.  A percentage is a part of the whol.  In order to get the percentage, you have to divide the part by the whole.  For instance, 80/100 would be 80%.  Therefore 80 is 80% of 100.  That one is simple, but the concept remains the same regardless of the problem.  That means you simply take the part (42.5 million) and divide it by the whole amount to get the percentage.

80%=80/100=8/10=4/5\n4/5 * 30=24

in order to figure this out, you first have to find the decimal of the numbers. to do this follow these steps:\n\n1-divide the numerator by the denomintaor, therefore, recieving the decimal\n\n3 divided by 8= 0.375\n\nyou have to round the number if it has more than two decimal places \n\n0.375=0.38\n\nthen, you multiply the decimal you got by 100, then you get your percent\n\n0.38 x 100 = 38\n\n38=38 %\n\nhope you understand good luck :)

convert a % to a fraction by putting the number over 100.  For example, 34% is 34/100.  which is also .34 as a decimal.

Divide it using decimals then multply the decimal by 100 and that will be your percent\n\nIs it just me or did someone else use this same exact answer below.  seriously people use your own imaginations and brains.

200 X 35 /100 = 70 That is 200 times the percentage in this case 35 then divide by 100 = 70. To divide by 10 remove one 0, to divide by 100 remove two 0's, etc. Can't explain it simpler than that. lol

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.

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

if you want to know 10% of 124   you change the percentage into decimal points  and multiply the number by the decimal point  like this     124 x .10 = 1.24  or if you want to know 25% of something you do the same thing\n100 x .25 =  25.  understand?

The way I explain percentages to my sixth grade students, I say I use the "Mom" method.  My mother taught me how to find 10% of something and if you can find 10% you can find any percent.  \n\nFirst, take the number you have and move the decimal over ONE place to the LEFT.  That new number is 10%, if you need to find 20%, you double it...etc.  Now to find say 5%, you do the same for 10% but take that same number and cut it in half.  \n\nEasy percentages are 25%, 50%, and 75%.  50% you just cut your number in half.  For 25% and 75%, you cut your number either 1)in half and then in half again. each part is 25%, 2 parts=50%, 3 parts=75%, 4 parts=100%.  2) cut each part into 4 and now you have the same 4 parts.  \n\nI'll be happy to give you extra tips if you need them.
