To find the percentage of two numbers, you want to determine what percent one number is of the other. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
How to Find the Percentage of Two Numbers
Formula:
Percentage=(PartWhole)×100\text{Percentage}=\left(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\right)\times 100Percentage=(WholePart)×100
Steps:
- Identify the two numbers:
- The part (the number you want to find the percentage of).
- The whole (the number you are comparing against).
- Divide the part by the whole:
PartWhole\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}WholePart
- Multiply the result by 100:
(PartWhole)×100\left(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\right)\times 100(WholePart)×100
- Add the percentage symbol (%) to the result.
Example:
If you want to find what percentage 25 is of 200:
25200×100=0.125×100=12.5%\frac{25}{200}\times 100=0.125\times 100=12.5%20025×100=0.125×100=12.5%
So, 25 is 12.5% of 200. If you want, I can help you calculate a specific percentage—just give me the two numbers!
