Finding X % of a number?

Question

Anyone know the formula or process of finding x % of a number? It's not on my sheet.

Answer 1

divide the number by 100 then multiply by x

Answer 2

if you have 3%, use it as .03 and multiply by the number to find the percent

36 x 3%=36 x .03
both equal1.08
this is the decimal way

if for fractions, 3/100 x 36 = 3x36 over 100 = 108 over 100

divide 108 by 100 = 1 and 2/25 (reduced from 1 and 8/100)

Answer 3

just move the decimal of the percent to the left 2 times then multiply it by the number.....example 15% of 20 is just .15 times 20

Answer 4

10% of 1,000,000 = 100,000
10% of 100,000 = 10,000
10% of 10,000 = 1,000
10% of 1,000 = 100
10% of 100 = 10
10% of 10 = 1

25% of 100 = 25
25% of 200 = 50
25% of 300 = 75
25% of 400 = 100

15% of 100 = 15
15% of 200 = 30

20% of 100 = 20
20% of 200 = 40

30% of 100 = 30
30% of 200 = 60

5% of 100 = 5
5% of 200 = 10
5% of 300 = 15

Hope this helps to give you the idea :)

Answer 5

take x%, make it a decimal (4% = .04, 53%=.53) and multiply it by your number
