How to Calculate Percentages (Formula & Method)

Understanding how percentages work makes daily math quick and practical. A percentage simply represents a fraction of 100. To calculate a percentage manually, you can use two simple math formulas:

Finding the percent of a number: Multiply the total value by the percentage rate, then divide by 100. For example, to find 20% of 150: (150 × 20) / 100 = 30.
Finding what percentage one number is of another: Divide the part (X) by the total (Y), then multiply by 100. For example, to see what percentage 25 is of 100: (25 / 100) × 100 = 25%.
