Percentage Formulas
X% of Y = (X ÷ 100) × Y
What is X% of Y?

Result = (X / 100) × Y — e.g., 15% of $200 = $30

X is what percent of Y?

% = (X / Y) × 100 — e.g., 30 is 15% of 200

Percentage Increase / Decrease

% Change = ((New - Old) / Old) × 100

Percentage of Total

Share = (Part / Total) × 100 — e.g., 25 of 80 = 31.25%

Example: 15% of $200 = $30 | 30 is 15% of 200 | 80 to 100 = +25% change

Shopping Discounts

Calculate sale price after a % discount — e.g., 30% off $120 = $84.

Tax Calculation

Add GST, VAT, or sales tax to any bill amount to find the tax-inclusive price.

Exam Score Grading

Convert raw marks to percentage: 72 out of 80 = 90%.

Business Profit Margins

Find gross margin: profit ÷ revenue × 100 to benchmark profitability.

Investment Returns

Calculate your ROI as a percentage of the original investment cost.

Down Payment %

Compute what % of a home's price you're putting down: 60,000 / 300,000 = 20%.

A percentage expresses a number as a fraction of 100. The symbol % means "per hundred" — so 45% = 45/100 = 0.45.

Multiply the number by the percentage divided by 100. Example: 20% of 500 = (20/100) × 500 = 100.

Divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100. Example: 75 out of 300 = (75/300) × 100 = 25%.

Percentage points are the arithmetic difference between two percentages. Going from 10% to 15% is a 5 percentage point increase but a 50% relative increase.

Yes! If you score 55 out of 50 in a bonus exam, that's 110%. Percentages above 100% mean the value exceeds the base reference.

Sale Price = Original Price × (1 - Discount%/100). Example: $200 with 25% off = $200 × 0.75 = $150.
