how do i work out the percentages of something when 80 is the total amount e.g 29% of 80!?

Answer 1

For future reference, just remember that 'percent (%)' = 'out of 100' ....
therefore whatever % you are looking for, just divide the figure you are given by 100 and times it by the amount of percent you are looking for......
Additionally, if you are given a fraction and asked to convert it to a percentage - again consider the circle as 100% instead of 4 quarters (or eight eighths or sixteen sixteenths etc.etc. etc.) Therefore Half equals 50%, a Quarter equals 25%, an Eighth equals 12.5% .......
Lastly if you are given a circle (360 degrees) and are asked to convert 90degrees of a circle into a percentage ..... 25% and so on
Hope this helps

Answer 2

I'd do it this way. 10% of 80 is 8 so 20% is 16 another 10% makes it 24 but you have to take 1% from that and 1% of 80 is 0.8 so the total of 29 % of 80 is 23.2.

Answer 3

Times by 4 and divide by 5.

So 23.2 is 29% of 80.

Answer 4

either divide 80 by 100 then multiply by the percentage
(80/100 = 0.8x29 = 23.2)

or

divide the percentage by 100 then multiplt by 80
(29/100 = 0.29*80 = 23.2)

Answer 5

OK!

29% of 80 is easy

Take 80 and divide it by 100, this gives you one percent.

Then times this by how many percent you need, in this case 29, so

80/100 = 0.8

0.8 x 29 = 23.2

Good luck!!

Answer 6

29/100 x 80 = 23.2

Answer 7

good luck with ur homework
