Definition of Percent

Percent (denoted by the symbol %) is a unit used to express a partial value as a percentage of a total number. It is a way of measuring the proportion or relationship of one value to another, where the whole is represented by the number 100. Percent is commonly used in various fields such as mathematics, economics, statistics, and percentage grades.

Formally, percent means hundredth, which means that 1 percent is equal to 1/100, or 0.01 in decimal form. It can be used to express both values greater than 1 (e.g., 50% = 50/100 = 0.5) and values less than 1 (e.g., 0.5% = 0.5/100 = 0.005).

For example, if we say that 30% of the apples in a basket are rotten, this means that out of 100 apples, 30 are rotten.

Operations explanation, or how to calculate a percentage from a number on a calculator?

You may be wondering how to calculate a percentage from a number on a calculator. Below you will find answers on how to calculate percentages yourself (including using a calculator).

1. Calculating a percentage from a number

   For example, if you want to know how much is 18% z liczby 1234, use the following equation:
   (a / 100) * b, where a is the percentage and b is the number for which we are doing the calculation. So:
   18% of the number 1234, to (18 / 100) * 1234 = 222.12

2. To calculate what percentage of a number is another number

   (a / b) * 100

3. To calculate the percentage difference between one number and another

   Price differences between stores for the same products may vary by a few or several percent. To calculate the percentage difference between the price of a kilogram of potatoes in two different stores, use the formula:
   ((b – a) / a ) * 100

   For example, if one kilogram of potatoes costs 1.55 $ in one store and 1.78 $ in the other store: ((1.78 – 1.55) / 1.55) * 100 = 14.84

4. How to increase a given number by a given percentage

   Are you wondering how to tip the waiter? E.g. 10? You have just received a bill for 85 $. Use the following formula:
   a * (1 + b/100)

   That is: 85 * (1 + 10/100) = 93.5

5. How to reduce a given number by a given percentage

   The price of a dress is 230 $, but there is a sign on the dress that says -15%. To quickly calculate how much the dress will cost after the discount, you need to reduce its price by 15%. The formula that solves this problem is
   a * (1 – b/100)

   That is: 230 * (1 – 15/100) = 195.5

Percentage calculator - Usage examples

The above calculator can be useful in everyday life. Need an example? Here are a few:

• Wondering how much to leave as a tip at the restaurant for the dinner you just had with friends? Enter the amount from the bill in the appropriate field (second from the bottom) and increase it by the percentage you enter, in the second field (e.g. 10, 15, etc.). The result appears automatically. Very simple.
• Or maybe you play the stock market and wonder how much the stock of a company you have invested in has gone up. Use the middle form to find out how many percent the stock price has increased (or decreased) from its current valuation.
• Want to know how much a new phone with a 5% discount will cost you? Enter the amount for the phone (e.g. 825) in the last form and reduce it by the discount offered by the seller (e.g. 5). The result of the action will appear in the Result field (e.g. 783.75).
• If you know the amount after the discount and before the discount, you can find the percentage. To do this, use the third form by what percentage the number a differs from the number b. Substitute the amount before the discount in the variable a, and the amount after the discount (rebate) in the variable b. The result is the percentage of the discount.
• Calculating a percentage of a number, what percentage of a given number is another number, how much a number differs from another number, increasing or decreasing a number by a given percentage (colloquially: adding and subtracting percentages) are basic operations we may encounter in everyday life. It is worth learning these basic formulas to know how to calculate these percentages. And if we don't have time to calculate, we can quickly use our Percentage Calculator, which will do the calculations for us.
• What about inflation? Prices go up all the time. You can easily count how much the price of a product or service has increased compared to the previous price. In this case, you need to find out by how many percent the number a differs from the number b.
• Or maybe you want to know by how many percent you need to lose weight.
