FAQ
What is a percentage?
A percentage expresses a number as “how many parts out of 100.” It’s commonly used to show how a whole is divided into portions or to compare differences between two numbers. Percentages are written using the “%” symbol. For example, if there are 100 drinks on a table and 30 of them are cola, we would say that 30% of the drinks are cola.
How do you calculate a percentage?
To calculate a percentage, you usually divide the part (smaller value) by the whole (larger value), then multiply the result by 100. This gives a percentage between 0 and 100. For example, if you have 50 books and 15 of them are comics, you divide 15 by 50 to get 0.3, then multiply by 100, which means 30% of the books are comics.
Why do we need to use percentages?
Percentages are widely used in many situations, from calculating discounts and taxes to tracking changes in stock prices or economic indicators. Understanding how percentages work can help you make smarter decisions in various areas, whether it’s financial planning or business management.
