How percentages work
(percentage ÷ 100) × number
Every percentage question is a version of this. "Per cent" literally means "per hundred", so 25% is just 25 hundredths — 0.25. Multiply by that and you have your answer. 25% of 200: divide 25 by 100 to get 0.25, then multiply by 200. The answer is 50.
Common questions
How do you calculate a percentage of a number?
Divide the percentage by 100, then multiply by the number. 25% of 200 = (25 ÷ 100) × 200 = 50.
What is 15% of 60?
9. Divide 15 by 100 to get 0.15, then multiply by 60. This is the same maths behind a 15% tip on a $60 bill.
Can the percentage be more than 100?
Yes. 150% of 40 is 60 — anything above 100% simply returns more than the original number.
