There are three basic types of percent problems:
- Find a given percent of a given number. For example, find 25% of 640.
- Find a percent given two numbers. For example, 15 is what percent of 50?
- Find a number that is a given percent of another number. For example, 10% of what number is 12?
Let’s begin with the first of these types.
Find a Given Percent of a Given Number
Let’s begin with our first example.
What number is 25% of 640?
Let x represent the unknown number. Translate the words into an equation.
\[ \begin{array}{c c c c c} \colorbox{cyan}{What number} & \text{ is } & \colorbox{cyan}{25%} & \text{ of } & \colorbox{cyan}{640} \\ x & = & 25 \% & \cdot & 640 \end{array}\nonumber \]
Now, solve the equation for x.
\[ \begin{aligned} x = 25 \% \cdot 640 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ x = 0.25 \cdot 640 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Change 25% to a decimal: 25% = 0.25.}} \\ x = 160 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Multiply: 0.25 \cdot 640 = 160.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
Thus, 25% of 640 is 160.
Alternate Solution
We could also change 25% to a fraction.
\[ \begin{aligned} x = 25 \% \cdot 640 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ x = \frac{1}{4} \cdot 640 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Change 25% to a fraction: 25% = 25/100 = 1/4.}} \\ x = \frac{640}{4} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Multiply numerators and denominators.}} \\ x = 160 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide: 640/4 = 160.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
Same answer.
What number is 36% of 120?
What is number \(8 \frac{1}{3} \%\) of 120?
\[ \begin{array}{c c c c c} \colorbox{cyan}{What number} & \text{ is } & \colorbox{cyan}{8 (1/3)%} & \text{ of } & \colorbox{cyan}{120} \\ x & = & 8 \frac{1}{3} \% & \cdot & 120 \end{array}\nonumber \]
Now, solve the equation for x . Because
\[8 \frac{1}{3} \%= 8.3 \% = 0.08 \overline{3},\nonumber \]
working with decimals requires that we work with a repeating decimal. To do so, we would have to truncate the decimal representation of the percent at some place and satisfy ourselves with an approximate answer. Instead, let’s change the percent to a fraction and seek an exact answer.
\[ \begin{aligned} 8 \frac{1}{3} \% = \frac{8 \frac{1}{3}}{100} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Percent: Parts per hundred.}} \\ = \frac{ \frac{25}{3}}{100} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Mixed to improper fraction.}} \\ = \frac{25}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{100} ~& \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Invert and multiply.}} \\ = \frac{25}{300} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Multiply numerators and denominators.}} \\ = \frac{1}{12} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Reduce: Divide numerator and denominator by 25.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
Now we can solve our equation for x .
\[ \begin{aligned} = 8 \frac{1}{3} \% \cdot 120 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ x = \frac{1}{12} \cdot 120 ~ & \textcolor{red}{8 \frac{1}{3} \% = 1/12.} \\ x = \frac{120}{12} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Multiply numerators and denominators.}} \\ x = 10 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide: 120/12 = 10.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
Thus, \(8 \frac{1}{3} \%\) of 120 is 10.
What number is \(4 \frac{1}{6} \%\) of 1,200?
What number is \(105 \frac{1}{4} \%\) of 18.2?
\[ \begin{array}{c c c c c} \colorbox{cyan}{What number} & \text{ is } & \colorbox{cyan}{105 (1/4) %} & \text{ of } & 18.2 \\ x & = & 105 \frac{1}{4} \% & \cdot & 18.2 \end{array}\nonumber \]
In this case, the fraction terminates as 1/4=0.25, so
\[105 \frac{1}{4} \% = 105.25% = 1.0525.\nonumber \]
\[ \begin{aligned} x = 105 \frac{1}{4} \% \cdot 18.2 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ x = 1.0525 \cdot 18.2 ~ & \textcolor{red}{5 \frac{1}{4} \% = 1.0525.} \\ x = 19.1555 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Multiply.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
Thus, \(105 \frac{1}{4} \%\) of 18.2 is 19.1555.
What number is \(105 \frac{3}{4} \%\) of 222?
Find a Percent Given Two Numbers
Now we’ll address our second item on the list at the beginning of the section.
15 is what percent of 50?
Let x represent the unknown percent. Translate the words into an equation.
\[ \begin{array}{c c c c} \colorbox{cyan}{15} & \text{ is } & \colorbox{cyan}{what percent} & \text{ of } & \colorbox{cyan}{50} \\ 15 & = & x & \cdot & 50 \end{array}\nonumber \]
The commutative property of multiplication allows us to change the order of multiplication on the right-hand side of this equation.
\[15 = 50x.\nonumber \]
\[ \begin{aligned} 15 = 50x ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ \frac{15}{50} = \frac{50x}{50} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by 50.}} \\ \frac{15}{50} = x ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify right-hand side.}} \\ x = 0.30 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide: 15/50 = 0.30.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
But we must express our answer as a percent. To do this, move the decimal two places to the right and append a percent symbol.
Thus, 15 is 30% of 50.
Alternative Conversion
At the third step of the equation solution, we had
\[x = \frac{15}{50}.\nonumber \]
We can convert this to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
\[x = \frac{15 \cdot 2}{50 \cdot 2} = \frac{30}{100}\nonumber \]
Thus, 15/50 = 30/100 = 30%.
14 is what percent of 25?
10 is what percent of 80?
\[ \begin{array}{c c c c c} \colorbox{cyan}{10} & \text{ is } & \colorbox{cyan}{what percent} & \text{ of } & \colorbox{cyan}{80} \\ 10 & = & x & \cdot & 80 \end{array}\nonumber \]
The commutative property of multiplication allows us to write the right-hand side as
\[10 = 80x.\nonumber \]
\[ \begin{aligned} 10 = 80x ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Original equation.}} \\ \frac{10}{80} = \frac{80x}{80} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by 80.}} \\ \frac{1}{8} = x ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Reduce: } 10/80 = 1/8.} \\ 0.125 = x ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide: } 1/8 = 0.125.} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
Thus, 10 is 12.5% of 80.
\[x = \frac{1}{8} .\nonumber \]
We can convert this to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 by setting up the proportion
\[\frac{1}{8} = \frac{n}{100}\nonumber \]
Cross multiply and solve for n .
\[ \begin{aligned} 8n = 100 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Cross multiply.}} \\ \frac{8n}{8} = \frac{100}{8} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by 8.}} \\ n = \frac{25}{8} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Reduce: Divide numerator and denominator by 4.}} \\ n = 12 \frac{1}{2} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Change 25/2 to mixed fraction.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
\[ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{12 \frac{1}{2}}{100} = 12 \frac{1}{2} \%.\nonumber \]
10 is what percent of 200?
Find a Number that is a Given Percent of Another Number
Let’s address the third item on the list at the beginning of the section.
10% of what number is 12?
\[ \begin{array}{c c c c c} \colorbox{cyan}{10%} & \text{ of } & \colorbox{cyan}{what number} & \text{ is } & \colorbox{cyan}{12} \\ 10 \% & \cdot & x & = & 12 \end{array}\nonumber \]
Change 10% to a fraction: 10% = 10/100 = 1/10.
\[ \frac{1}{10} x = 12\nonumber \]
\[ \begin{aligned} 10 \left( \frac{1}{10} x \right) = 10(12) ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Multiply both sides by 10.}} \\ x = 120 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
Thus, 10% of 120 is 12.
Alternative Solution
We can also change 10% to a decimal: 10% = 0.10. Then our equation becomes
\[0.10x = 12\nonumber \]
Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.10.
\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{0.10x}{0.10} = \frac{12}{0.10} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide both sides by 0.10.}} \\ x = 120 ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Divide: 12/0.10 = 120.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
20% of what number is 45?
\(11 \frac{1}{9} \%\) of what number is 20?
\[ \begin{array}{c c c c c} \colorbox{cyan}{11 (1/9) %} & \text{ of } & \colorbox{cyan}{what number} & \text{ is } \colorbox{cyan}{20} \\ 11 \frac{1}{9} \% & \cdot & x & = & 20 \end{array}\nonumber \]
Change \(11 \frac{1}{9} \%\) to a fraction.
\[ \begin{aligned} 11 \frac{1}{9} \% ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Percent: Parts per hundred.}} \\ = \frac{ \frac{100}{9}}{100} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Mixed to improper: } 11 \frac{1}{9} = 100/9.} \\ = \frac{100}{9} \cdot \frac{1}{100} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Invert and multiply.}} \\ = \frac{ \cancel{100}}{9} \cdot \frac{1}{ \cancel{100}} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Cancel.}} \\ = \frac{1}{9} ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Simplify.}} \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
Replace \(11 \frac{1}{9} \%\) with 1/9 in the equation and solve for x .
\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{9} x = 20 ~ & ~ \textcolor{red}{11 \frac{1}{9} \% = 1/9/} \\ 9 \left( \frac{1}{9} x \right) = 9(20) ~ & \textcolor{red}{ \text{ Multiply both sides by 9.}} \\ x = 180 \end{aligned}\nonumber \]
Thus, \(11 \frac{1}{9} \%\) of 180 is 20.

Percents (%)
When we say "percent" we are really saying "per 100".
One percent ( 1% ) means 1 per 100.
Try it Yourself:
Using Percent
Use the slider and try some different numbers (What is 40% of 80? What is 10% of 200? What is 90% of 10?)
Because "Percent" means "per 100" think:
"this should be divided by 100"
So 75% really means 75 100
And 100% is 100 100 , or exactly 1 (100% of any number is just the number, unchanged)
And 200% is 200 100 , or exactly 2 (200% of any number is twice the number)
A Percent can also be expressed as a Decimal or a Fraction
Read more about this at Decimals, Fractions and Percentages .
Some Worked Examples
Example: calculate 25% of 80.
25% = 25 100
And 25 100 × 80 = 20
So 25% of 80 is 20
Example: 15% of 200 apples are bad. How many apples are bad?
15% = 15 100
30 apples are bad
Example: if only 10 of the 200 apples are bad, what percent is that?
As a fraction, 10 200 = 0.05
As a percentage it is: 10 200 x 100 = 5%
5% of those apples are bad
Example: A Skateboard is reduced 25% in price. The old price was $120. Find the new price.
First, find 25% of $120:
And 25 100 × $120 = $30
25% of $120 is $30
So the reduction is $30
Take the reduction from the original price
$120 − $30 = $90
The Price of the Skateboard in the sale is $90
Calculation Trick
This little rule can make some calculations easier:
x% of y = y% of x
Example: 8% of 50
8% of 50 is the same as 50% of 8
And 50% of 8 is 4
So 8% of 50 is also 4
Percent vs Percentage
My Dictionary says "Percentage" is the "result obtained by multiplying a quantity by a percent". So 10 percent of 50 apples is 5 apples: the 5 apples is the percentage .
But in practice people use both words the same way.

Percentages Worksheets
Welcome to the percentages math worksheet page where we are 100% committed to providing excellent math worksheets. This page includes Percentages worksheets including calculating percentages of a number, percentage rates, and original amounts and percentage increase and decrease worksheets.
As you probably know, percentages are a special kind of decimal. Most calculations involving percentages involve using the percentage in its decimal form. This is achieved by dividing the percentage amount by 100. There are many worksheets on percentages below. In the first few sections, there are worksheets involving the three main types of percentage problems: calculating the percentage value of a number, calculating the percentage rate of one number compared to another number, and calculating the original amount given the percentage value and the percentage rate.

Percentage Calculations
Calculating the percentage value of a number involves a little bit of multiplication. One should be familiar with decimal multiplication and decimal place value before working with percentage values. The percentage value needs to be converted to a decimal by dividing by 100. 18%, for example is 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18. When a question asks for a percentage value of a number, it is asking you to multiply the two numbers together.
Example question: What is 18% of 2800? Answer: Convert 18% to a decimal and multiply by 2800. 2800 × 0.18 = 504. 504 is 18% of 2800.

Calculating what percentage one number is of another number is the second common type of percentage calculation. In this case, division is required followed by converting the decimal to a percentage. If the first number is 100% of the value, the second number will also be 100% if the two numbers are equal; however, this isn't usually the case. If the second number is less than the first number, the second number is less than 100%. If the second number is greater than the first number, the second number is greater than 100%. A simple example is: What percentage of 10 is 6? Because 6 is less than 10, it must also be less than 100% of 10. To calculate, divide 6 by 10 to get 0.6; then convert 0.6 to a percentage by multiplying by 100. 0.6 × 100 = 60%. Therefore, 6 is 60% of 10.
Example question: What percentage of 3700 is 2479? First, recognize that 2479 is less than 3700, so the percentage value must also be less than 100%. Divide 2479 by 3700 and multiply by 100. 2479 ÷ 3700 × 100 = 67%.

The third type of percentage calculation involves calculating the original amount from the percentage value and the percentage. The process involved here is the reverse of calculating the percentage value of a number. To get 10% of 100, for example, multiply 100 × 0.10 = 10. To reverse this process, divide 10 by 0.10 to get 100. 10 ÷ 0.10 = 100.
Example question: 4066 is 95% of what original amount? To calculate 4066 in the first place, a number was multiplied by 0.95 to get 4066. To reverse this process, divide to get the original number. In this case, 4066 ÷ 0.95 = 4280.

Percentage Increase/Decrease Worksheets
The worksheets in this section have students determine by what percentage something increases or decreases. Each question includes an original amount and a new amount. Students determine the change from the original to the new amount using a formula: ((new - original)/original) × 100 or another method. It should be straight-forward to determine if there is an increase or a decrease. In the case of a decrease, the percentage change (using the formula) will be negative.

Solving problems with percentages
- Price difference I
- Price difference II
- How many students?
To solve problems with percent we use the percent proportion shown in "Proportions and percent".
$$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{x}{100}$$
$$\frac{a}{{\color{red} {b}}}\cdot {\color{red} {b}}=\frac{x}{100}\cdot b$$
$$a=\frac{x}{100}\cdot b$$
x/100 is called the rate.
$$a=r\cdot b\Rightarrow Percent=Rate\cdot Base$$
Where the base is the original value and the percentage is the new value.
47% of the students in a class of 34 students has glasses or contacts. How many students in the class have either glasses or contacts?
$$a=r\cdot b$$
$$47\%=0.47a$$
$$=0.47\cdot 34$$
$$a=15.98\approx 16$$
16 of the students wear either glasses or contacts.
We often get reports about how much something has increased or decreased as a percent of change. The percent of change tells us how much something has changed in comparison to the original number. There are two different methods that we can use to find the percent of change.
The Mathplanet school has increased its student body from 150 students to 240 from last year. How big is the increase in percent?
We begin by subtracting the smaller number (the old value) from the greater number (the new value) to find the amount of change.
$$240-150=90$$
Then we find out how many percent this change corresponds to when compared to the original number of students
$$90=r\cdot 150$$
$$\frac{90}{150}=r$$
$$0.6=r= 60\%$$
We begin by finding the ratio between the old value (the original value) and the new value
$$percent\:of\:change=\frac{new\:value}{old\:value}=\frac{240}{150}=1.6$$
As you might remember 100% = 1. Since we have a percent of change that is bigger than 1 we know that we have an increase. To find out how big of an increase we've got we subtract 1 from 1.6.
$$1.6-1=0.6$$
$$0.6=60\%$$
As you can see both methods gave us the same answer which is that the student body has increased by 60%

What is meant by percentage?
Solving problems based on percentages, finding the percentage of a number, finding the whole number from the percent, finding the whole using the ratio method, solved examples.
- Frequently Asked Questions
In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100. The symbol “ % ” is frequently used to represent it, and it has a few hundred years of history. While we are on the topic of percentages, one example will be, the decimal 0.35, or the fraction \(\frac{7}{20}\) , which is equivalent to 35 percent, or 35%.
By solving problems based on percentages, we can find the missing values and find the values of various unknowns in a given problem.
Find 40% of 200.
\(\frac{40}{100}\times 200\) Write the percentage as a fraction
\(\frac{2}{5}\times 200=800\) Simplify
First, write the percentage as a fraction or decimal. Then, divide the fraction or decimal by the part. This method applies to any situation in which a percentage and its value are given.
If 2 percent equals 80, multiply 80 by 100 and divide it by 2 to get 4000.
Prove that 20% of 120 is 24.
20% =\(\frac{20}{100}\) Write the percent as a fraction or decimal.
Using multiplication equation:
\(\frac{20}{100}\times 120=24\) Simplify
To prove the reverse of this solution we use the division equation:
\(\frac{24}{\frac{20}{100}}\) Simplify
\(\frac{2400}{20}=120\)
A ratio table is the table that shows the comparison between two units and shows the relationship between them.
Example 1: What is 25% of 50?
We have 25% of 50.
So, 25% of 50 = \(\frac{1}{4}\times 50\) Write the percentage as a fraction or decimal.
= \(\frac{50}{4}\) Simplify.
= 12.5
Example 2: Using the ratio table, answer the following question:
What is 60% of 200?
We have 60% of 200.
Now, we have to use the ratio table to find the part. Let one row represent the part and the other row represent the whole row in the table and find the equivalent ratio of 200.
The first column represents the percentage = \(\frac{60}{100}\)
So, 60% of 200 is 120.
Example 3: Find the whole of the number.
50% of what number is 45.
We have: 50% of what number is 45?
Use division equation
\(\frac{45}{50%}\) Write the percentage as a fraction or decimal
\(=\frac{45}{\frac{1}{2}}\) Simplify
So, \(45\times 2=90\)
Hence, 50% of 90 is 45
Example 4: Find the whole of the number using the ratio table.
140% of what number is 84
We have to find 140% of what number is 84.
Use the ratio table to find the part. Let one be the part and the other be the whole row in the table. Now, find the equivalent ratio of 200.
So, 140% of 60 is 84.
Example 5: A rectangular hall’s width is 60 percent of its length.
What are the room’s dimensions?
Solution:
Calculate the width of the room by taking 60% of 15 feet.
\(60%\times 15\) Write the percentage as a fraction or decimal.
= \(0.6\times 15\) Simplify
We can al so understand it with the help of a diagram:
The width is 9 feet.
Area of the rectangle = \(\text{length}\times \text{width}\)
= \(15\times 9\)
= 135
Hence, the area of the given room is 135 \(feet^2\).
Example 6: You have won a camping trip at an auction at your school fair that cost $80. Your bid is 40% of your maximum bid for the price of the camping trip. How much more would you be willing to pay for the trip if you hadn’t already paid the full price?
You are given the winning camping bid that represents the maximum bid as well as the percentage of your maximum bid. You must calculate how much more you would have paid for the camping trip if you had known how much more you were willing to pay.
Your winning bid is the part, and your maximum bid is the whole.
Create a model based on the fact that 40% of the total is $80 to determine the highest bid. Then divide the winning bid by the maximum bid to find out how much more you were willing to pay.
The maximum bid is $200 and the winning bid is $80. So, you would be willing to bid $200 – $80 = $120 more for the tickets.
How do you calculate a percentage?
To calculate a percentage, divide the given value by the total value and multiply the result by 100. That is “(value/total value) x 100%”. This is the formula for calculating percentages.
In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100 in mathematics. Percentage is usually represented by the symbol “%”. It is also written simply as “percent” or “pct”. For example, the decimal 0.35, or the fraction \(\frac{35}{100}\), is equivalent to 0.35.
What is the purpose of percentages?
Percentages are used to figure out “how much” or “how many” of something is to be taken from a given value. Percentage makes it easier to calculate the exact amount or figure being discussed. In order to determine whether a percentage increase or decrease has occurred, a comparison of fractions is done. This aids in calculating percentages of profit and loss, for example in real life situations.

App Needs a Little Bit Of Work, Even Though Amazing!
Great app nothing wrong with it but when I do need some help with like math, story problems, or maybe a different subject. There does need to be some more options for homework help. The only down side is that when it comes to story problems, or graphing, or multiple choice sometimes it lacks on it. For example the A.I understand what i’m trying to input from the picture. Yes maybe if I write it down it can understand my problem better but there is only a 1000 word cap and somethings I can’t input on my keyboard. lastly when it comes to taking the picture it will pick up on small details like 19. which is the problem i am on or the fill in the ____. Also the question or the date on the bottom possibly they can add feature to take those things off so the A.I doesn’t get confused by it. Thank you for reading have a Bless day!
Actually explain.
My friend used this app and i caught a glance at it and downloaded it because at first i couldn’t believe an app that give you accurate answers. This app is pretty impressive. It actually tells you what to do instead of going straight into the answer, then demanding that you buy premium for questions thousands of people struggle on. The explanations are actually pretty simple to understand and as someone who is trying to get better grades in math this is amazing. I recommend you do actually get this app if you want to have step-by-step explanations which can get you ahead in your class.
😎This is the most AMAZING THING I’ve ever been to
This app gave me all correct answers and helped me get an 100 on my math test! I would definitely recommend this app if you need help in math/Ela or other stuff that has to do with education I love this app and this app is so honest! My teacher was surprised to see my scores by getting help by the Ai I got to become more successful here I am in 5th grade happy to use this app whenever I need it. Thank you so much Ai!
