Common Percentage Calculations

Finding a Percentage of a Number

To find a percentage of a number, multiply the percentage (divided by 100) by the number.

Example: 25% of 80

(25 ÷ 100) × 80 = 0.25 × 80 = 20

Example: 150% of 40

(150 ÷ 100) × 40 = 1.5 × 40 = 60

Finding What Percent One Number is of Another

To find what percent one number is of another, divide the first number by the second and multiply by 100.

Example: What percent is 15 of 60?

(15 ÷ 60) × 100 = 0.25 × 100 = 25%

Example: What percent is 90 of 60?

(90 ÷ 60) × 100 = 1.5 × 100 = 150%

Calculating Percentage Increase

To find the percentage increase, subtract the original value from the new value, divide by the original value, and multiply by 100.

Example: Increase from 50 to 75

((75 - 50) ÷ 50) × 100 = (25 ÷ 50) × 100 = 0.5 × 100 = 50%

Calculating Percentage Decrease

To find the percentage decrease, subtract the new value from the original value, divide by the original value, and multiply by 100.

Example: Decrease from 80 to 60

((80 - 60) ÷ 80) × 100 = (20 ÷ 80) × 100 = 0.25 × 100 = 25%
