how do you work out the percentage for 65 take away 15?

Answer 1

find the percent when the amount and base are known.

amont / base = percent

15 = the amount

65 = the base

Divide 15 by 65 to get the decimal

15 / 65 = 0.230769231

Multiply the decimal by 100 and attact the % symbol

0.230769231 x 100 = 23.07692308%

23.1 % rounded to one decimal place

The percent is 23.1%

15 is 23.1% os 65

Answer 3

Or (65%) x - (15%) y = ???

Or 65% - 15% = 50%

Really strange, i thought i was great at maths but this is a boggle???

Answer 4

You take away 15, divide by the total (65), and multiply by 100

((65-15)/65)*100
=(50/65)*100
=0.769*100
=76.9%

Answer 5

it depends what percent of 65 or are you asking 65%? If asking 65%, lets take ten for example. 65% of ten would be 6.5. First find ten percent of the number, so ten percent of ten is 1. Then times that by six, for 60% which then becomes 6. For the rest of the percent, 5%, take the first ten percent, which was 1 divided by 2. then add that to your total from the 60%.
10% of 10= 1
multiply 1 by 6 for 60%= 6
take 10% total, divided by 2 to get 5%= .5
add 60% to 5%= .5+6= 6.5

Answer 6

65 - 15 = 50

(50/65) x 100%
= 76.9%

Answer 7

if you mean what percentage is 15 out of 65.... you just divide 15 by 65 or 15/65 and the decimal is about .2308 which is 23.08 percent or 23.8%

Answer 8

65 = 100%
15 = 0.15 x 65 = 9.75% taken away = 55.25

Answer 9

In the US, we can go to the Census Bureau and find out. Can you do the equivalent there? (Between the official censuses, the same folks gather data constantly through surveys, so it's up to date.)

Answer 10

if you want a % of a number
XX (the number) multiplied by 0.xxx (the %age)
eg
10 % of 100 =
100x0.10=10
