Formulas

  • A% of B: result = A × B ÷ 100
  • A is what % of B: result = A ÷ B × 100 (B cannot be zero)
  • % change from A to B: result = (B − A) ÷ |A| × 100 (A cannot be zero)

Worked examples

  • 15% of 200: 15 × 200 ÷ 100 = 30.
  • 30 is what percent of 200: 30 ÷ 200 × 100 = 15%.
  • Change from 80 to 100: (100 − 80) ÷ 80 × 100 = +25%. From 100 to 80: (80 − 100) ÷ 100 × 100 = −20%.
