Answer 1

%'s are really just one number (numerator) divided by another number (denominator), then you multiply the result by 100.

The tricky bit is to know which number goes on top and which goes below.  If I want to work out what % of Y is X, then I do (X/Y) x 100.

EXAMPLE

1)what % of my income is profit,

(profit/income) x 100 = % profit

2)what % of weekly income did I make on monday,

(monday's income/weekly income) x100 = % earned on monday

You need to have a clear idea of what it is exactly you are looking for, and on what variables it depends.
