So I need the formula to put in my calculator when finding how many percent $300 is in $60,000

Question

amistre64 · Answer

spose we have a total of T,  1% is simply a division by 100

T/100 = 1%

by mutiplying both sides by some value, n, we can determine the n% of T

nT/100 = n%

so the question is,  when does nT/100 = 300,  given that T=60000

But how would I type this in my calculator, is it 300/100*60000?

amistre64 · Answer

let do some algebra :)

nT/100 = 300

nT = 300*100

n = 300*100/T

soo

n = 30000
        ------
        60000

n = 3/6 = 1/2.

300 is 1/2% of 60000
