Here are the 3 simple steps for finding a percentage of a number: Step 1 - Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. Step 2 - Multiply this decimal by the number you are finding the percentage of. Step 3 - Check your units of measurement. You should have now found your percentage of a number!
Example 1) Find 27% of $50.
Step 1) We convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27 Step 2) We need to multiply decimal by the number we are finding the percentage of. 0.27 x 50 = 13.5 Step 3) We need to convert this amount to dollars. So 13.5 = $13.50 Answer: $13.50 Example 2) Find 17% of 160m.
Step 1) Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17 Step 2) We need to multiply this decimal by our number. 0.17 x 160 = 27.2 Step 3) Check units of measure. Answer: 27.2m
The three simple steps above will quickly tell you how to find the percentage of any number. However, there are some special cases which quicker and easier to work out.
To find 50% of a number - just halve it! 50% is the same as the fraction ½ To find 25% of a number, quarter it (or divide by 4). 25% is the same as one-fourth or one-quarter To find 75% of a number, quarter it then multiply by 3. 75% is the same as three-fourths or three-quarters. To find 10% of a number, divide it by 10! 10% is the same as one-tenth. To find a multiple of 10%, like 30% or 70% of a number, just divide by 10 and multiply by the numbers of tens you have. To find 30%, you divide by 10 and multiply by 3. To find 70%, divide by 10 and multiply by 7.
Example 1) Find 50% of 28. To find 50%, we just halve the number. Half of 28 is 14. Answer: 14 Example 2) Find 25% of $120. To find 25% of a number, we quarter it (or divide it by 4). 120 ÷ 4 = 30 Answer: $30 Example 3) Find 75% of 20 miles. To find 75% of a number, we quarter it then multiply by 3. 20 ÷ 4 = 5 5 x 3 = 15 Answer: 15 miles Example 4) Find 10% of 5km. To find 10% of a number, divide it by 10. 5 ÷ 10 = 0.5 Answer: 0.5km or 500m Example 5) Find 60% of 40 gallons. To find 60%, we divide by 10 and multiply by 6. 40 ÷ 10 = 4 4 x 6 = 24 Answer: 24 gallons
