how to find percentage????

OpenStudy (rina.r):

To find what percent of number y is number x, you should divide number x by number y. Then multiply your result by 100 and this will give you the percentage. Your formula should look like x/y * 100.

Divide the two numbers then multiply by 100..

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge \%=*\frac{1}{100} $$

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

per means "/" cent means "100" therefore per cent means /100

Or if you have your numbers in decimals, you can convert it to percentage by moving two decimal places to the right.. :))
