Increase = 11877 - 3752 / 3752\n\n216%\n\nThink of a simpler example.  Say something happened 2 times today and 3 times tomorrow.  That would be 50% more tomorrow or (3-2)/2 = 1/2\n\nSome people will tell you it is 3/2, that is wrong.  The increase is not 150% in this simple case.

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.

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

multiply by 100, put a percent after it (percent=per 100)

Move the decimal two places to the right.\n83.4%

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

x/100 x 48 = 40.80\n48x/100=40.80\n48x = 4080\nx = 85\n\n100-85\n=15%

10 - 15% = 8.5\n\nor\n\n10 - (10*0.15) = 8.5\n\nturn % to decimal and multiply it by the number from which you are subtracting the percent. Then subtract that number from the original number\n\nremember each percent is 2 decimal places left - 8% = 0.08, 25% = 0.25, 125% = 1.25

Think "percent over 100 = is over of."\n\nSample problems:\n\nWhat number is 30% of 40?\n"%" / 100 = "is" / "of"\n30 / 100 = n / 40\nn = 30(40) / 100 = 12.\n\n30 is what percent of 40?\n"%" / 100 = "is" / "of"\np / 100 = 30 / 40\np = 30(100) / 40 = 75.\n\n30 is 40% of what number?\n"%" / 100 = "is" / "of"\n40 / 100 = 30 / n\nn = 30(100) / 40 = 75.

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

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?

Going from percent to fraction is easy.  Percent literally means "per 100" so just divide your percent by 100 to get a fraction.  For example, 16% = 16/100.  You can then simplify if you want, to get 16/100= 4/25.\n\n~ ~ ~ ~ \n\n66 2/3% = 0.66666.... or 0.6 (with a dash on top of the 6).  The fraction is 2/3.\n\nTo go from a repeating decimal to a fraction, it's a little tricky. Here's how you do it:  Notice how many numbers are in the repeating pattern -- in this case it's only the 6, so we have 1 repeating number.  Use this "1" to tell you that you need to multiply your decimal by 10^1 to solve.  (If our repeating decimal was 0.181818... that would be two repeating numbers and we'd need to use 10^2 to solve.)  Anyhoo, we have 1 repeating number, so take your decimal, call it x and take 10^1 times x minus x to solve:\n\n10x - x = 6.666... - 0.6666\n9x = 6\nx = 6/9 = 2/3\n\nAnd that's how you go from repeating decimals to a fraction!\n\n~ ~ ~ ~ \n\n18/15 = 120% = 1.20\n\n~ ♥ ~

Find the fraction/decimal/percent/whatever. Then, find how big this is for 360 degrees. For example, say you have 41%. Just find 41% of 360. If this is a problem, then just multiply the fractin/decimal/percent/whatever by 360.

Just multiply 120 by each percent (percentages in decimal form), so 120x0.45, 120x0.30, and 120x0.25, so you should get 54, 36, and 30 (respectively).

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!

A percent is a hundredth of something, so 12% of something is 0.12 times something. To find 12% of 30, multiply 30 × 0.12 with a calculator. You'll wind up with 3.6.\n\nHope this helps.

take away the percent sign, move decimal 2 to the left.ie: 25% = .25\noops... sorry, reverse that.
