a percent is a part of 100
35% (as an example) = 35/100 = .35
so 35% of any number is .35*the_number
40% of 80 = .40 * 80 = 32
to take 40% off of 80 you would subtract 80 - 32 = 48

divide the number by 100 and multiply by the percentage.
thus 7 percent of 126 is 8,82
126/100 = 1,26
7 * 1,26 = 8,82

percent/100 = n/number is the equation. Percent is whatever percent you want. Number is the number you want the percent of. N will be your answer. Fill in the numbers and solve for n.
