Introduction. Percent, p%

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

25% = 25 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100

25% = 25/100 = 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25

100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1

Percentage of 25% of what number = 60,000?

25% of what number = 60,000

... is equivalent to:

25% × ? = 60,000

? =

60,000 ÷ 25% =

60,000 ÷ (25 ÷ 100) =

(100 × 60,000) ÷ 25 =

6,000,000 ÷ 25 =

240,000

25% of 240,000 = 60,000
