Percentage of Something

This means you’re finding part of a number based on a percent.

Formula:
Percentage of a number=(Percentage100)×That number\text{Percentage of a number} = \left( \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} \right) \times \text{That number}

Example:
What is 30% of 200?

(30100)×200=0.3×200=60\left( \frac{30}{100} \right) \times 200 = 0.3 \times 200 = 60

What is 25\frac{2}{5} of 100?

25×100=40\frac{2}{5} \times 100 = 40
