Question

How do you find the percent of a number greater than 100?

Answer 1

To find any percentage all you need to do is take the amount you are looking at divided by the total amount. Than multiply the number by 100.

Answer 2

Multiply the number by the percent (e.g. 87 * 68 = 5916)

Divide the answer by 100 (Move decimal point two places to the left) (e.g. 5916/100 = 59.16)

Round to the desired precision (e.g. 59.16 rounded to the nearest whole number = 59)

Explanation:

lets say for example 234

234/2 = 117 and the percentage were looking for is ummmm 25% well 25% is 1/4th of 234 making it 1/2 of 117 25% of 234 is 58.8 lets do a harder one what is 47% of 234 Divide n by 100.

Multiply the result by x. making it 109.98
