Percentages from fractions are fairly easy to calculate... do the division to get the decimal equivalent, then multiply by 100 to convert it to percentage:\n\n2/5 = 0.4\n\n0.4 * 100 = 40\n\n40% is your answer! :)

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.

What you do to solve all of these is you multiply by the percent. You can use a thing called DOOP. D=decimal, and P=percent OO= the two spaces to move. So to change from percent to decimal, use doop and move the decimal point back two spaces. Then you have a decimal, then times is by the number i will ONLY do the first five for you, and then you have to try the rest on your own. For the other types, make it into a fraction, then a decimal, then convert to percent!! (DOOP)\n1. 19\n2. 36%\n3. 92\n4. 88%\n5. 46.66666(repeated) %\n2.

Well this is easy, what you have to do is put in the values as follows:\n\nA1 = 10000\nA2 = =(A1*0.25)+A1\nA3 to A5 jus drag the column in A2, this will compute the percentage of each column just above the column with the formula, and give the result you want.\n\nI hope this is the solution u were looking at.\n\nRegards\nChris

The amount times 0.65.  This gives you what is left after subtracting the 35%.  If you want to know how much 35% is, you take the amount times 0.35.

Divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number) and then multiply it by 100.  \nexample:\n3/4\n\n3 divided by 4 = .75\n.75 * 100 = 75%

1/14 X 100% = 7%\n\nu r right

If the number is a fraction, just divide the top number by the bottom number.  For example, 1/2 = 1 divided by 2 = .5.  Move the decimal point to places to the right = 50%.  If the number is a whole number, just add two zeros and %.  For example, the number 2 = 200%

if cell A1 has a value of 50, and cell A2 has a value of 75, and you were looking to have cell A3 have a value of 67%, you would type in cell A3 the following formula:\n\n=A1/A2\n\nwhen you press return, you should get a value like 0.666667 or something similar.  Right click on that cell, and select "format cells" from the pop-up menu.  On the number tab of the format cells dialog, select the "Percentage" category and click OK.  You're done.

If the total cost of an item is X * 1.06, then 9.49 DIVIDED BY 1.06 will give you the original price.  It was $8.95\n\nProof:  $8.95 * 6% = $0.54; $8.95 + $.54 = $9.49

Divide top number of the fraction by the bottom number \n(1/4 = divide 1 by 4 = 0.25) That is fraction to decimal. \nTo get percentage just multiply by 100. \nSo the 0.25 becomes 25, or 25%\n\n: - )

First turn the % into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.  \n20%=.2\n\nThen take .2 x 620.87 = $124.17\n\nFinally add that number to your original number\n$124.17 + $620.87 = $745.04\n\nThis process will work with different numbers.

25.93%\n\ndivide 7 by 27 (since 7 is how much it decreses) to find the percentage.

Divide by 100.\n\n39% = 39/100 = 0.39

50.7%\n\nLet me tell you how you do it, though. Just divide 38 by 75 and then multiply by 100. Take a few seconds and learn the math, ok?\n\nSomeone gave me a thumbs down. Guess they thought I was being mean. I was just trying to encourage you to learn how to figure percentages on your own. You won't always have Yahoo Answers there to help you. Good luck.
