What is Percentage

The term “percentage” is adapted from the Latin word “per centum,” which means “by the 100.” In mathematics, a % is a number io ratio that describes a fraction of 100 if we need to find the percent divided by the whole number and multiply by 100. So the percentage means a part per hundred and is denoted with the symbol “%.”

The Main 3 Using percentages are the Following

1-What is /p% of value?

Find a percentage or workout the percent has given number and percent values. Rates are computed by multiplying the value of a ratio by 100. And you can solve the equation to primary method x/y=p*100. If you are interested in finding a vat rate for different items.

Basic percent formula

P% * X = Y

OR

P * v1 = v2

An example is the following:

Change the problem to a math equation by using the percent formula

percent formula: P% * X = Y

• P is 25%, and X is 400, so the equation is 25% * 400=Y.
• To convert 25% to decimal by removing the sign % and dividing by 100:25/100=0.25
• Substitute 0.25 for 25% in the
• equation: 25% * 400 = Y becomes 0.25 * 400 = Y
• Do the math: 0.25 * 400 = 100
• Y = 100
• Soo 25% of 400 is 100

Check your satisfaction

• with the original equation:
• What is 25% of 400?
•  Multiply 0.25 * 400 = 100

2- How to find out what percent of X is Y?

To determine X is what percent of Y, divide X by Y, and multiply the result by 100 to get the percentages. We find out our percent value by simply applying the percent formula. 

What percent of 60 is 12?

Formula= Y/X = P%

OR

(V2 / V1) * 100

An example is the following:

X is 60, and Y is 12, so the equation is 12/60 = P%.

Do the math: 12/60 = 0.20

Check your satisfaction

• You can verify the answer with an actual equation:  
• of 60 is 12? 12/60 = 0.20, and multiply by 100 to get a 
• percentage, 0.20 * 100 = 20%

3- How to find X if the P percent of it is Y?

In this situation, we have the value of X and P for the percent, and we find out the value of Y. As a result, the ratio of X. We find our percent increase and decrease by applying the simple percent formula.

FORMULA=Y/P% = X

OR

V2 / P% = V1

Example: 400 is 25% percent of what number?

Change the problem to a math equation by using the percent formula

formula: Y/P% = X

• Y is 400, and P is 25, so the equation is 400/25=X
• Convert the percent to a decimal by dividing 100.
• Converting 25% to a decimal: 25/100 = 0.25
• Substitute 0.25 for 25% in the equation: 400/0.25 = X

Check your satisfaction

• Double-check your answer with the original question:
• 400 is 25% of what number?
•  Do the math: 400/0.25 = X
• X = 1600 400/0.25 = 1600

Remember: How to convert percent to a decimal?

• Change the percent sign %, and divide by 100
• 75.6% = 75.6/100 = 0.756%
• 0.995 = 0.995 * 100 = 99.5%

Percentage Problems

There’re some examples of three fundamental problems involving percentages. The problem format math the input field in the calculator above, formates, and models are added. As we see the equation in this table, with the procedure, and after its explanation:

QUESTIONS	FORMULA	EQUATIONS	SOLUTIONS
What is P% of X?	Y = P% * X	17% of 75?	So 17% of 75 is 12.5
Y is what p% of X?	P% = Y ÷ X	15 is what percent of 50?	So 15 is 50% of the 30
Y is P% of what?	X = Y ÷ P%	9 is 60% of what?	So 9 is 60% of the 15
What percent of X is Y?	P% = Y ÷ X	What percent of 74 is 5?	So 6.75% of 74 is 5
P percent of what is Y?	X = Y ÷ P%	40% of what is 7?	So 40% of 17.5 is 7.
P percent of X is what?	Y = P% * X	8% of 35 is what?	So 8% of 35 is 2.8
Y of what is P percent?	X = Y ÷ P%	5 of what is 15%?	5 of 33.3333 is 15%
What if X is P percent?	Y = P% * X	What of 35 is 12%?	So 4.2 of 35 is 12%

CONCLUSION

In mathematics, a % is a number or ratio that describes a fraction of 100 if we need to find percent divided by a whole number and multiply by 100. In our daily life routine, we face many such as the above equations to everyday transactions. You can easily find your related problem in these examples.
