I need help on finding percent! 60 out of 100%. How did you find that?

Answer 1

The percent is 60%
.60 x 100

The three methods for finding a percent of a number:
1: The Quick and Easy Way: The easiest way to find a percent of a number is to know the fractional equivalent for some common percents. Below are some of these often-used percents and the fractional value for each. You'll need to memorize these:

1%=1/100------------66.6%= 2/3
10%= 1/10-----------75%= 3/4
20% = 1/5 -----------100% = 1
25% = 1/4 -----------150% = 1 1/2
33.3% =1/3 ----------200% =2
50% = 1/2 ------------250% = 2 1/2

Method 1 involves using the fraction instead of the percent. For example, if you were asked:
"What is 50% of 36?"
you would instead ask yourself:
"What is half of 36?"
This makes it easy to get the answer 18.

Finding one-tenth of a number is always easy, because this is the same as dividing by ten. You just have to move the decimal point back one place.
To find 1/4 (or 25%) of something, simply divide by 4; 1/3 (33.3%) of something=divide by 3.

One hundred percent is the whole thing. By the way, notice that 'OF' means that you multiply.

The quick method won't work for percents for which you don't know the fraction, or for which the fraction isn't a simple one. It also won't work if the calculation is too difficult to do in your head. In this case, simply divide the SMALLEST number by the LARGEST in order to get a decimal point.

2: Using Decimals and a Calculator:

This method requires that you either know the decimal value for the percent, or can find it.
Since a percent is really just a fraction over one hundred, you just need to move the decimal point two places to the left. EX:
1%= 0.01-------------66.6% =0.666
10%=0.10------------75% = 0.75
20%=0.20-----------100%= 1.00
25%= 0.25-----------150%=1.50
33.3% =0.333-------200%= 2.00
50%= 0.50-----------250%= 2.50
You will usually need a calculator to do odd numbers. For instance: 55% of 28=0.55 times 28=15.4
8% of 200=0.08 times 200=16.00 or 16

3: Using Fraction Operations:

This method uses fraction multiplication rules.

First you change the percent to a fraction over 100. You can reduce this fraction if you want to; we didn't.

Then you rewrite the number as a fraction over 1.

Now you have a fraction multiplication question; you multiply the tops and multiply the bottoms.
Finally, you divide your answers to get a decimal. This step will always be easy, because you're always dividing by 100. If you want, you can instead just reduce your answer to a simpler fraction

After you have practiced, >>> Try the QUIZ <<< at their website. They will email your results back to you.

Now, your problem is simply 60/100=0.06, or reduced further is 6/10=0.6, or fraction-wise 60/100=3/5 (20 is the common factor here). Or 6/10=3/5 (2 is the common factor).

Answer 3

You can't get 60 out of 100%, if you mean 60 out of 100 it is 60%. to find percent :
n 100
_ * _____
y 1

n is any real number so is y

Answer 4

Hello Kimmy with percentages you just divide the whole number by 10 and multiply by the given number.10% of a hundred -100 divided by 10= 10x by 6= 60.
If your working with smaller amounts -5% for instance just half the amount each time.Just remember 1% of anything is 1.

Answer 5

Umm you do .6 x 100= 60% It's not that hard..
