how do i find what percentage of one number, another number is?

Question

like what percent of 467 is 212(example) I just need a formula, i suck at math

Answer 1

% = (212 / 467) x 100 %
= 45.4% ( to 1 decimal place)

Answer 2

The process is very easy and once you know it,I am sure,you wouldnot suck at it.
First of all form a fraction with the partvalue as numerator and the whole value or initial number as denominator.Then multiply the fraction by 100.Do neccessary reducing if required and you get your answer
What percent of 467 is 212
Here 212 is part value.So it will be the numerator
(212/467)*100=(212*100)/467
=45.4%
Take another example
What percent of 12 is 3?
(3/12)*100%
=75% [after reducing]
The final example
What percent is 15 of 25?
the answer is 15*100/25=60%

Answer 3

I always remembered a little saying. "Is over Of equals Percent over 100"

it looks like this: is/of = %/100.

So: what percent of 467 is 212?
is=212
of=467
%=(what we are trying to find, or x)
100=100

212/467 = x/100

now cross multiply
467x=212(100)
467x=21200
x=45.3 %

remember "is over of equals percent over 100" works every time

Answer 4

If you want to know wat percentage of a is the number b, just divide them and multiply by 100

(b/a)*100

so in this case, you have 212/467 * 100
= 0.454 * 100
= 45.4 %

so 212 is 45.4% of 467

Answer 5

x percent of 467 is 212
x%*467=212
x=212/467*100=45.396 percent

Answer 6

467-----> 100%
212------> A

467 x A= 212 x 100

A=21200/467

A=45.39%

Answer 7

Say your question is 15.5% of 60 is what number?
The follow up is: 15.5% is 0.155, Of is * (multiplied by), 60 is 60, Is is =, and What number? is the variable n:
0.155 * 60 = n
Which comes to 9.3=n . . . So 15.5% of 60 is 9.3

Or

24 is what percent of 120?
The follow up is: 24 is 24, Is is =, What percent is p,Of is * (multiplied by), 120 is 120:
24 = p * 120
Then, 24/120 = p . . . 0.2 or 20% = p
So 24 is 20% of 120

I hope this helped.
