What percent is one number of another?+
Divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100. For example, 30 is 30/150 x 100 = 20% of 150. The tool computes this and the reverse (finding the original from a percentage) too.
How do I calculate percentage increase or decrease?+
Percentage change = (new - old) / old x 100. A rise from 80 to 100 is (100-80)/80 x 100 = 25% increase; a drop from 100 to 80 is a 20% decrease. Enter both numbers to see the change.
How do I convert a percentage to a ratio?+
Write the percentage as a fraction over 100, then simplify. 40% becomes 40:100, which simplifies to 2:5. For a part-to-part split, subtract from 100 first: 40% and 60% is 40:60 = 2:3. Use the ratio-split mode to apply that ratio to any total.
How do I convert a ratio to a percentage?+
Add the ratio parts to get the whole, then divide each part by that total and multiply by 100. For 3:2, the total is 5, so the parts are 3/5 = 60% and 2/5 = 40%. The calculator does this and shows each part's share of the total.
How does a reverse percentage calculator find the original number?+
If a value already includes (or excludes) a percentage, divide to work backwards. A price of $120 after a 20% increase came from 120 / 1.20 = $100; a sale price of $60 after 25% off came from 60 / 0.75 = $80. Use the add/subtract-% mode and read the base figure.
How do I calculate a percentage increase?+
