How to Calculate Percentages

There are many formulas for percentage problems. You can think of the most basic as X/Y = P x 100. The formulas below are all mathematical variations of this formula.

Let's explore the three basic percentage problems. X and Y are numbers and P is the percentage:

Find P percent of X

Find what percent of X is Y

Find X if P percent of it is Y

Read on to learn more about how to figure percentages.

1. How to calculate percentage of a number. Use the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

Example: What is 10% of 150?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y

Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10

Substitute 0.10 for 10% in the equation: 10% * 150 = Y becomes 0.10 * 150 = Y

Do the math: 0.10 * 150 = 15

Y = 15

So 10% of 150 is 15

Double check your answer with the original question: What is 10% of 150? Multiply 0.10 * 150 = 15

2. How to find what percent of X is Y. Use the percentage formula: Y/X = P%

Example: What percent of 60 is 12?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/X = P%

X is 60, Y is 12, so the equation is 12/60 = P%

Do the math: 12/60 = 0.20

Important! The result will always be in decimal form, not percentage form. You need to multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Converting 0.20 to a percent: 0.20 * 100 = 20%

So 20% of 60 is 12.

Double check your answer with the original question: What percent of 60 is 12? 12/60 = 0.20, and multiplying by 100 to get percentage, 0.20 * 100 = 20%

3. How to find X if P percent of it is Y. Use the percentage formula Y/P% = X

Example: 25 is 20% of what number?

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/P% = X

Y is 25, P% is 20, so the equation is 25/20% = X

Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.

Converting 20% to a decimal: 20/100 = 0.20

Substitute 0.20 for 20% in the equation: 25/0.20 = X

Do the math: 25/0.20 = X

X = 125

So 25 is 20% of 125

Double check your answer with the original question: 25 is 20% of what number? 25/0.20 = 125

Remember: How to convert a percentage to a decimal

Remove the percentage sign and divide by 100

15.6% = 15.6/100 = 0.156

Remember: How to convert a decimal to a percentage

Multiply by 100 and add a percentage sign

0.876 = 0.876 * 100 = 87.6%

Mia has a budget of $250 to spend on a health club membership. The monthly membership fee is $20, and there is a one-time regist

Leokris [45]

So we cant go over $250

35+20n=250

now that i put the question in an expression we can take the 35 away from both sides

35+20n=250
-35. -35
_____________
20n=215

now divide 20 by both sides to get (n) alone

20n=215
________

n= 10.75

we round down because we cannot exceed the limit, thus

Part 1:

Given that a store had 235 MP3 players in the month of January and that every month, 30% of the MP3 players were sold and 50 new MP3 players were stocked in the store.

The number of MP3 players in the store after the previous months sale is given by 0.7f(n - 1) and the number of MP3 players in the store after new MP3 were added is 0.7f(n - 1) + 50.

Therefore, the recursive function that best represents the number of MP3 players in the store f(n) after n months is given by f(n) = 0.7 x f(n − 1) + 50, f(0) = 235, n > 0

Part 2:

The average rate of change of a function from a to b is given by

$average \ rate \ of \ change= \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Given that the equation showing the value of her investment after x years is given by

$f(x)=500(1.05)^x$

Thus, the average rate of change of the value of Sophia's investment from the second year to the fourth year is given by

$Average \ rate \ of \ change= \frac{f(4)-f(2)}{4-2} \\ \\ = \frac{500(1.05)^4-500(1.05)^2}{2} = \frac{607.75-551.25}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{56.5}{2} =28.25$

Therefore, the average rate of change of the value of Sophia's investment from the second year to the fourth year is 28.25 dollars per year.
