Ok to change a decimal into a percentage just move the decimal over 2 spaces. In example .58 is 58% and .03 is 3%. Now it has been a while since school for me but if a mixed number is 1 3/4 or something to that extent you take the bottom of the fraction multiply it by the whole number and add the top number of the fraction. So 1 3/4 is equal to 7/4. To make that a percentage divide the top number by the bottom number which makes it 175%. I could be way off for your mixed numbers, but it has been awhile. Hope I could help a little!!

its actually really simple to figure out 15%.  10% of 520 is obviously 52 (just move the decimal over one place, thereby removing the zero) and since u need 15%, you need 10%+ 5%, right?  so half of the 10% (52) is 5% which is 26.  Now add 52 and 26 and u get 78!   even if ur totally not a math person, dont get thrown off, any percent ending in a zero or 5 (10, 25, 50 etc) are really simple to do this way!

First convert 27% to decimal\n\n27 / 100 = 0.27\n\nMultiply 500 times 0.27\n\n500 X 0.27 = 135\n\nThe answer is 135\n\nthe rate is 135\n\n- - - - - -s-

There are three types of percent problems.\n\nOne is finding the number that is a certain percent of a given number:\n\nWhat number is 25% of 80? Answer 20 (80 x .25)\n\nYou do those by multiplying the number by the percent and remembering that 25% is the same as .25 (or the fraction 1/4)\n\n\nThe second is when you have two numbers and you want compare them by saying one of the numbers is a certain percent of the other:\n\nWhat percent of 25 is 5? Answer 20% (5/25 = .20 = 20%)\nWhat percent of 5 is 25? Answer 500% (25/5 = 5.00 = 500%)\n\nYou do those by dividing the "is" number by the "of" number. \n\nThe third type of percent problem asks you what number a given number is a percent of:\n\n15 is 25% of what number? Answer 60 (15/.25)\n225 is 150% of what number? Answer 150 (225/1.5)\n\nTo find the answer to these, you divide the given number by the percentage, which is usually easier if you convert it to its decimal form.\n\nRemember, in all these problems, percentages can represent part of a whole or something more than the whole. If this year you made only a quarter of what you did last year, this year's income is 25% of last year's and your income has dropped by 75%. (The 25% and 75% add up to 100% of last year's income.) If you make twice as much this year as last year, your income has increased by 100% and you have made 200% of last year's income. (The 100% from last year plus the 100% gain add up to 200%.)\n\nAn interesting discussion of a method one teacher used to teach these concepts is at the website referenced below. Hope this helps.

1.) Find 50% of 20: 50/100 x 20 = y\n2.) What percent of 20 is 10?: y/100 x 20=10\n3.) The original price was 100, it is now 50. By how much was it discounted? 100 - y/100 x 100 = 50\n4.)The original price was 100 and it was discounted by 10%. What is the new price?: 100-90/100=y

take away the percent sign, move decimal 2 to the left.ie: 25% = .25\noops... sorry, reverse that.

.47\n\n47/100 \n\nSo that you understand it, everytime you want to change a percentage to decimal, you take out the % and divide it between 100\n\nFor decimals, you take out the % and write the number you have above (here/100) 100\n\nHope it helps, have a nice day

you can work that in your head just by moving the point:\n10% is 443.7\n1% is 44.37\nso 443.7 + 44.37 + 44.37 = 532.44 !

you want to know why\n\n2/3% of 5,000= 33.3\nfirst take 2/3 and put into decimal form. which is .6667 then move decimal place over (2) spaces to convert to %.  That makes it .006667.\nNow multiply .006667 x 5,000 and the answer is 33.3350. or the 33.3 you have in the answer.

(1) First one is copied wrongly by you                                            (2) Where is the equal to sign?                                                        (3)This equn. also cannot be solved                                              (4)-p/16+5=9  Multiplying all the terms by 16 ,we get -p+80=144   =>-p=144-80=66 Therefore p=66 YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL BEFORE SENDING YOUR PROBLEMS TO YAHOO ANSWERS.HOWEVER,YOU MAY SEND THE CORRECTED VERSION OF THE PROBLEMS TO ME IMMEDIATELY THROUGH YAHOO ANSWERS.

The first thing to remember about percentages is that they represent a fraction who's denominator (bottom term) is 100 - for example, 40% is the same as 40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5.  And the second is something I learned in math class about 40 years ago about percentage word problems - "percent" over "100" equals "is" over "of".  Burn that into your brain.  How do you use it? In your problem, "40" is the "percent", and "85" is the "of" (because it comes right after the "of"). So using the rule, your problem is:\n\n40/100 = is/85\n\nThere's no "is" in you problem, therefore it must be the answer we have to solve for, right?  So now you cross-multiply:\n\n40*85 = 3400, and 3400/100 = 34, which is the answer.\n\nWhat if your problem asked, "What percent of 85 is 34?" \n\n34 is the "is" since it comes right after the word "is" in the problem, and 85 is still the "of" since it comes right after the "of", and since the problem asks "What percent...", percent is what we have to solve for.  So using the rule, the problem sets up to:\n\npercent/100 = 34/85 \n\nNow cross multiply again:\n 34*100 = 3400, and 3400/85 = 40, so 40 is the "percent", and therefore the answer!  One more example: "34 is 40% of what?"  This time, it looks like "of" is what we have to find, so the problem sets up to:\n\n40/100 = 34/"of"\n\nCross multiply again:\n\n100*34 = 3400, and 3400/40 = 85\n\nSee how easy percentage word problems are?  Practice 30 problems like this, and don't forget that "percent over 100 equals "is" over "of", and remember how to cross-multiply.\n\nGaryH

One way to find the percentage of a value is to convert the percentage into a number then multiply the value by this number.\nYou convert a percentage into a number by dividing the percentage by 100: x% = x/100.\n\nFor example: find 5% of 200.\n1) Convert the percentage to a number:\n5% = 5/100 = 0.05\n2) Multiply the value by the number:\n200*0.05=10\n\nIn your case,\n1) Convert the percentage to a number:\n91&3/8% = 91.375/100 = 0.91375\n2) Multiply the value by the number:\n1000*0.91375 = 913.75\n\nYou would have $913.75

Simply multiply by 100.\n\nThe reason for this is simple.  We interpret percent as 1/100 so if we want to convert a fraction a/b to percent we have the following:\n\nc % = a/b ==> c * 1/100 = a/b ==> c = 100 * (a/b)\n\nYou may also want to convert a/b to decimal.  Although this is not essential.

The easiest way to do this in an easy way to understand is to pretend that you have 100 dollars and do the math:\n\n$100 + 10% = $110\n\n$110 - 25% = ???\n\n25% of $110 is $27.50 so subtract this from $110.\n\n$110 - $27.50 = $82.50

Divide top number of the fraction by the bottom number \n(1/4 = divide 1 by 4 = 0.25) That is fraction to decimal. \nTo get percentage just multiply by 100. \nSo the 0.25 becomes 25, or 25%\n\n: - )

move the decimal point two places to the right (or multiply by 100)\n\nso\n\n0.005049 becomes 0.5049 %
