Percent Calculations

Find the percentage of the following numbers (round off to the nearest hundredth)

1. 14 out of 210 =

2. 25 out of 110 =

Answer 1

Explanation:

in the question "x% out of y" y is 100%.

100% = y

1% = 100%/100 = y/100

x% = x × 1% = xy/100 = (x/100)y

so, all you have to do is multiply the number by %/100.

1. 14 out of 210 = 210 × 0.14 = 29.4

2. 25 out of 110 = 110 × 0.25 = 27.5
