how do you work out percentages on a calculator,eg if I wanted to know what percentage,13 is of 47?thanks?

Answer 1

x% of y = xy/100

So 47x/100 = 13

x = 1300/47 = 27.66%

Answer 2

Try 13 divided by 47 X 100 should give you the percentage!

Answer 3

If you want to know what percentage 13 is of 47, the question can be rewritten as:

x/100 = 13/47

You want to figure x on a calculator so you just key in:

13
/
47
=

and I would personally just read off the percentage here by moving the decimal place over by two. But you can go ahead and:

*
100
=

if you prefer. (:

Answer 4

All you need to do is divide the number you want to know the percentage for by the total number, then multiply by 100. In this case it would be 13/47= 0.27 then 0.27x100=27%

Answer 5

divide 13 by 47.. multiply the result by 100.. that's the percentage

Answer 6

Depends on the calculator.
Without using the % button on calculator the
calculation is 13/47 x 100 = 27.7% (to 1 dec. place)
Using a calculator, press:-
13
÷
47
%

Answer 7

Divide 13 by 47 (I'm assuming you at least know how to do that.) When you get the answer, move the decimal point two places to the right. That's the percentage 13 is of 47. The answer is thus 27.6595%.

Answer 8

On a calculator, divide the part by the whole, then multiply the answer by 100.

13/47 is approximately 0.277, now multiply this by 100 and you get 27.7%

(You can skip the second step if you know that multiplying by 100 just moves the decimal point two places to the right.)

Answer 9

Simple:
% = .13 * 47
That means put decimal before 2 digits.
It means if you have to find percent of 789 out of 1000 then
%= 7.89 * 1000
