What is the correct formula ..........?

Question

*Question 1: What is the correct mathematical formula i would enter into a calculator in order to find the percentage of a number? *Question 2: For example, What is 10% of 575?

Answer 1

1. Percentage of a Number = (Percentage / 100) x Number

2. 10% of 575 = (10 / 100) x 575

= 57.5

Hope i helped in some way!

Answer 2

well 10% is 10/100 which equals 1/10 which when converted to a deciaml is 0.1

You multiply 0.1 bye 575 which equals 57.5

The same with any other if you want 3% of 575 you multiply 575 by 0.03 (3/100)

If you want 125% of 575 you multiply 575 by 1.25 (125/100) ect...

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Can you enter a formula on the calculator? I thought its a device for pressing some keys!

Well if you want to calculate %, x% y is xy/100.

So here you press keys 1 then 0 then multiplication signthen 5 then 7 then 5 then division sign then 1 then 0 again 0. Now you press = or exe key.
