Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a percentage of a number?

Multiply the number by the percentage, then divide by 100. For example, 20% of 150 is (150 × 20) ÷ 100 = 30.

How do I find what percentage one number is of another?

Divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100. For example, 30 out of 150 is (30 ÷ 150) × 100 = 20%.

How do I calculate a percentage increase or decrease?

Subtract the old value from the new one, divide by the old value, then multiply by 100. A rise from 80 to 100 is a 25% increase.
