How to calculate percentages

A percentage is simply a fraction out of 100. Three questions cover almost every everyday percentage problem:

1. What is X% of Y?

Result = (X ÷ 100) × Y

Example: 15% of 200 = 0.15 × 200 = 30.

2. X is what percent of Y?

Percent = (X ÷ Y) × 100

Example: 30 is what percent of 200? (30 ÷ 200) × 100 = 15%.

3. Percentage increase or decrease

Change% = ((New − Old) ÷ Old) × 100

Example: a price rising from 50 to 75 is a ((75 − 50) ÷ 50) × 100 = 50% increase. A drop from 75 to 50 is a 33.3% decrease.
