Understanding the Calculation

The formula used by our calculator is:

Percentage = (Part ÷ Whole) × 100

For example, if you want to know what percentage 25 is of 100:

• Part = 25
• Whole = 100
• Calculation: (25 ÷ 100) × 100 = 25%

Practical Applications

1. Discounts and Sales

Retailers often use percentages to express discounts. If an item originally priced at $80 is on sale for $60, you can use the calculator to find the discount percentage:

• Part (amount saved): $80 - $60 = $20
• Whole (original price): $80
• Result: 25% discount

2. Academic Performance

Teachers and students use percentages to measure performance. If a student scores 85 points out of 100 on a test:

• Part (points scored): 85
• Whole (total possible points): 100
• Result: 85% score

3. Financial Ratios

Investors and analysts use percentage calculations to assess company performance. For instance, to calculate profit margin:

• Part (net income): $500,000
• Whole (revenue): $2,000,000
• Result: 25% profit margin

Tips for Working with Percentages

1. Always identify the whole: Make sure you know what represents 100% in your calculation.
2. Convert decimals to percentages: Multiply by 100 to convert a decimal to a percentage.
3. Use percentages for comparison: Percentages make it easier to compare values across different scales.
