Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a percentage of a number?
To calculate X% of Y, multiply Y by (X/100). For example, to find 20% of 50: 50 × (20/100) = 10. Our calculator does this automatically when you select "What is X% of Y?".
How do I find what percentage one number is of another?
To find what percentage X is of Y, divide X by Y and multiply by 100. For example, to find what percentage 25 is of 50: (25/50) × 100 = 50%. Use our "X is what % of Y?" option for this calculation.
