The whole value can be found by using a phenomenon known as proportion

What is percentage?

A figure or ratio stated as a fraction of 100 is called a percentage. Although the abbreviations "pct.", "pct.", and occasionally "pc" are also used, the percent symbol, "%," is frequently used to indicate it. A % is a number without dimensions and without a measurement system.

Now we are given a percent p of a value let us say x and that value be v

We have to find the initial value let us say that value to be 'P'

To find that we use proportion

That is ratio of value to their respective percentage will be equal

Hence we will have

P/100 = v/ x

P= (v/x)*100

Hence we get the initial value
