The query "how to find" is very broad and lacks specific context. However, based on search results primarily focusing on "how to find" related to percentages, here is a summary of common methods to find percentages:
How to Find a Percentage
- The general formula to find the percentage of a part relative to a whole is:
Percentage=(PartWhole)×100\text{Percentage}=\left(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\right)\times 100Percentage=(WholePart)×100
This calculates what percent the part is of the whole.
- To find the part given a percentage and the whole:
Part=Whole×Percentage100\text{Part}=\text{Whole}\times \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}Part=Whole×100Percentage
For example, to find 60% of 9 cupcakes, convert the percentage to decimal (0.6) and multiply 9 by 0.6.
- You can calculate a percentage mentally using combinations of 1%, 10%, and 50% as building blocks, adjusting by addition or subtraction.
- When calculations involve fractions, convert the fraction to a decimal first, then multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
Examples
- If you have 27 trees and 6 have pinecones, the percentage of trees with pinecones is:
(627)×100=22.22%\left(\frac{6}{27}\right)\times 100=22.22%(276)×100=22.22%
- To calculate the original value when given a percentage and part:
Whole=PartPercentage/100\text{Whole}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Percentage}/100}Whole=Percentage/100Part
For example, if 30% of a price is $120, then the original price is
1200.30=400\frac{120}{0.30}=4000.30120=400
