In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100. It is often denoted by the symbol "%" or simply as "percent" or "pct." For example, 35% is equivalent to the decimal 0.35, or the fraction

.

Percentage Formula

Although the percentage formula can be written in different forms, it is essentially an algebraic equation involving three values.

P × V1 = V2

P is the percentage, V1 is the first value that the percentage will modify, and V2 is the result of the percentage operating on V1. The calculator provided automatically converts the input percentage into a decimal to compute the solution. However, if solving for the percentage, the value returned will be the actual percentage, not its decimal representation.

EX: P × 30 = 1.5

If solving manually, the formula requires the percentage in decimal form, so the solution for P needs to be multiplied by 100 in order to convert it to a percent. This is essentially what the calculator above does, except that it accepts inputs in percent rather than decimal form.

Percentage Difference Formula

The percentage difference between two values is calculated by dividing the absolute value of the difference between two numbers by the average of those two numbers. Multiplying the result by 100 will yield the solution in percent, rather than decimal form. Refer to the equation below for clarification.

Percentage Difference = × 100

Percentage Change Formula

Percentage increase and decrease are calculated by computing the difference between two values and comparing that difference to the initial value. Mathematically, this involves using the absolute value of the difference between two values, and dividing the result by the initial value, essentially calculating how much the initial value has changed.

The percentage increase calculator above computes an increase or decrease of a specific percentage of the input number. It basically involves converting a percent into its decimal equivalent, and either subtracting (decrease) or adding (increase) the decimal equivalent from and to 1, respectively. Multiplying the original number by this value will result in either an increase or decrease of the number by the given percent. Refer to the example below for clarification.

EX: 500 increased by 10% (0.1)
500 × (1 + 0.1) = 550

500 decreased by 10%
500 × (1 – 0.1) = 450

Calculating percentages is a fairly simple area of mathematics due to the way that it always works in
hundreds.

If you have a scientific calculator, you should find a percentage calculation button on it along with the
other functions. To find a percentage, you simply need to enter the whole number, then press the
addition key, enter your desired percentage, and press the percentage function key. Like so:

500 + 50 '%' (calculator displays 250)

The calculator will then show you the percentage figure, and if you press the 'equals' key, it will add it to the whole number, which in this example will make 750.

If you don't have a scientific calculator to hand but still have a simple one (you can find these on almost every cell phone from the last several years), the process becomes only slightly more complex. You will need to first enter the whole number, then divide it by 100 to find one percent of it, and then multiply that figure by your desired percentage.

500 / 100 = 5, 5 * 50 = 250 (where '/' denotes division and '*' denotes multiplication)

Once you have the resulting figure, you can use it in whichever calculation you want to - adding or subtracting it from the initial number etc.

For the reverse, in other words to find out what one number is as a percentage of another, you just need to divide the first number by the second. For example, to find out what percentage 200 is of 500, you just divide 200 by 500.

200 / 500 = 0.4

0.4 expressed as a percentage is 40per cent. It works the same with the numbers reversed - 500 is 250per cent percent of 200. As the first number is greater, the end result will always be over 100per cent.

What percentage of a number is another number

To find the percentage of one number in relation to another number then divide the relative number by the base number and multiply the result by 100.
Example : What percentage is 8 of 12
8 is the relative number ; 12 is the base number.
100 x 8/12 = 66.67% (2dp)
