How to Find Percentage

In the previous post we have discussed about Proportions and In today's session we are going to discuss about Percentage, It defines how a number is present in form of fraction. It is define as a ratio that is based on the whole number. We can describe percentage as a value occurred on per 100. As the name describe per cent in which cent means hundred. In this blog we are going to know about how to find percentage. When we define any number in terms of percentage as 25% means 25 / 100 or 25 per 100. It also express the method of changing any percent value in the whole number.

We can easily express a number in form of percentage , first generate a fraction that have numerator as the value for which we want to calculate percentage and denominator define as the whole value and then multiply this fraction with 100 .It gives the percentage as if there is part x and its whole value is y then percentage is expressed as x / y * 100.

We can describe whole process of generating percentage in form of some steps as:

(1): Find the whole value

(2): define the portion for which percentage will be calculated.

(3): Generate the fraction

(4): calculate the percentage by multiplying the fraction value with the 100.

All the steps are described by an example as if the value is 25 and whole value is 50 than percentage is calculated as put the whole value and partition value in form of fraction as 25 / 50 and then multiplied it with 100 as 25 / 50 * 100 = 50 % that means 25 is 50 % of 50 that means 25 is just half of 50.
