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%

Solve the question below, please.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Adam: 52.26°

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Cosine Rule, Cos(C) = \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab}, to find the angle of both players.

✔️Angle of Carlos:

Let the angle be C,

a = 50 ft

b = 40 ft

c = 24 ft

Plug in the values into the equation

Cos(C) = \frac{50^2 + 40^2 - 24^2}{2*50*40}

Cos(C) = \frac{3,524}{4,000}

C = Cos^{-1}(\frac{3,524}{4,000})

C = 28.24° (nearest hundredth)

✔️Angle of Adam:

Let the angle be C,

a = 30 ft

b = 22 ft

c = 24 ft

Plug in the values into the equation

Cos(C) = \frac{30^2 + 22^2 - 24^2}{2*30*22}

Cos(C) = \frac{808}{1,320}

C = Cos^{-1}(\frac{808}{1,320)}

C = 52.26° (nearest hundredth)

Given: x - 6.3333 ≤ 1.5 .
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x or (-\infty, 47/6]

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 6.3333 = 6 1/3 = 19/3 = 38/6.

Also, note that 1.5 = 1 1/2 = 3/2 = 9/6.

So, the inequality is really equal to x-38/6.

We can then add 38/6 to both sides to get x.

So, the solution is x, or in interval notation, (-\infty, 47/6]
