percentage

Here is the page for help in percentage. Read the help to improve a possible weakness in math.

When calculating the percentage of a number, you must remember what percentage is. "Per" (meaning "for every") and "cent"( "100" in Latin) combine to mean " for every hundred. So 15%( 15 for every 100) of 100 is 15. That was an easy problem, though, so I will teach you the way for harder problems. Say for example I wanted to find 7% of 8. I would multiply 8 by 7and then divide all of that by 100( 7 for every 100). This is 56/100 which equals .56, thus solving any percentage problems.

the way i do percentage is by finding one percent and multiply it by what i am looking for.( I think this is the easiest and best way)
