If you got 36 answers to your question and 11 were correct, you would divide 11 by 36 (0.3056) and take the result times 100 to figure the percentage of correct answers. (30.56%)

If using a calculator, input the number that you want the percentage of then multiply it by whatever percent you want then push the percent key. For example 20% of $80 = $16
You would input 80 x 20% and you get 16. You can also do it as 80 x .20=16. If you are not using a calculator you just move over to decimal places to the left for the number that is the percent. For example: 30%=.30 75%=.75 and so on.
I hope this is clear

percentages are easy to calculate and easier to compare
percentage of rational numbers is calculated by multiplying by hundred.
when you want to reflect something as a percentage of something
say like finding the profit percentage
you divide the profit by 100
and the resultant rational number you multiply by hundred
profit%=(profit/cost price)*100

Percent is basically the same as a fraction converted to decimal form, then multiplied by 100 to convert.

So if you want to find the % with big numbers like a million. Please read this.
So if you want to do 1,079,626 out of 1,089,826, first you have to divide these numbers
Step 1= 1,079,626÷1,089,826= 0.9906
Then you multipy the answer by 100.
Step 2= 0.9906x100=99.06
That's how you do it.

Move the decimal point to the left two places. Then multiply the original number by that new number.
Example:
10% of 20
10.0%=0.1
0.1x20=
2

Move the decimal over two places, and multiply. Example, if I wanted to know 75% of 50, I would multiply 50 by .75.
