It is written using the percent symbol (%), and it is always expressed as a number between 0 and 100. For example, 33% means that 33 is the part of 100.<\/li>\n<li>To find a percentage, divide the number of interest by the total number and multiply by 100.<\/li>\n<li>For example, if you want to find the percentage of males in a class of 30 students, divide the number of males (15) by the total number of students (30) and multiply by 100. This gives you a percentage of 50%. In other words, 50% of the students in the class are male.<\/li>\n<li>Here are some other examples:<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; If you want to find the percentage of people who voted for a particular candidate, divide the number of people who voted for that candidate by the total number of people who voted and multiply by 100.<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; If you want to find the percentage of people who are taller than 6 feet, divide the number of people who are taller than 6 feet by the total number of people and multiply by 100.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Formula_of_Percentage\"><\/span>Formula of Percentage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Percentage is a mathematical formula used to calculate the relative value of one quantity against another. To calculate a percentage, divide the number of units represented by the first quantity by the total number of units represented by both quantities. Then multiply that number by 100 to get the percentage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_How_to_Find_the_Percentage_of_a_Number\"><\/span>1. How to Find the Percentage of a Number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To find the percentage of a number, divide the number by 100 and multiply by the percentage you want to find.<\/p>\n<p>For example, to find the percentage of 25, divide 25 by 100 and multiply by 100, which equals 25%.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a_Percentage_Increase\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">a. Percentage Increase<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A percentage increase is the amount of increase in a quantity as a percentage of the original quantity. It is calculated by dividing the increase by the original quantity and multiplying by 100.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if the original quantity is 10 and the increase is 2, the percentage increase is 20%.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"b_Percentage_Decrease\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">b. Percentage Decrease<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The percentage decrease is found by dividing the decrease by the original value and multiplying by 100.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if a value decreases from 10 to 5, the percentage decrease is 50%.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_How_To_Calculate_Percentage_Discount\"><\/span>3.
