Percentage and Its Calculation
What is Percentage?
Percentage or Percent is anything out of 100.
Percent = per 100 (cent = 100)
i.e., 2 % is 2 out of 100.
Fractions to PercentagesConsider you have an apple and you need to share it with your 3 sisters. So, in order to share, cut it into 4 equal parts. For each, 1 part of the whole apple (4 parts) is given.
Hence for each , it is 1 part in 4.
i.e., 1/4 = Fraction
The perentage of 1 in 4 is (1/4) * 100.
= 25 %
Hence the formula of perentage is
= Part / Whole * 100
Percentage of 1 in 4
