Scenario 1: What is X as a % of Y
Formula
Percentage (%) = X/ Y * 100
Example
Let’s say you want to find out what is the % of 50 from 300
Then X = 50, Y = 300
Z = 50/300 * 100
= 16.67%
Scenario 2: If X% of Y is Z, then what is Z
Formula
Z = (X / 100) * Y
Example
Let’s say you want to find out what is 5% of 120
Then X = 5%, Y = 120
Z = (5/100) * 120
= 60
Scenario 3: If X is Y% of Z, then what is Z
Formula
Z = X / (Y / 100)
Example
Let’s say you want to find out what number is 350 the 50% of?
