How to Calculate Percentages

Percentage of a number: Multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100. Example: 15% of 200 = 200 × 15 / 100 = 30.

Percentage change: Subtract the old value from the new value, divide by the absolute value of the old value, and multiply by 100. A positive result means increase, negative means decrease.

What percent X is of Y: Divide X by Y and multiply by 100. Example: 25 is what % of 200? → 25/200 × 100 = 12.5%.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a percentage increase?
Use the formula: ((New - Old) / Old) × 100. For example, going from 80 to 100 is a 25% increase: ((100-80)/80) × 100 = 25%.
How do I find the original price before a discount?
If an item is 20% off and costs $80, the original price was $80 / (1 - 0.20) = $100. Divide the sale price by (1 minus the discount rate).
