So, 40% is (40100) , or 0.40. Multiplying this value by the “total” we want – 24 in this case – gives us 9.6. This can be checked by taking the inverse – dividing 24 by 9.6: (9.624) = 0.40. That is a unit ratio, or parts per “1” (one).
How Do We Find Percentage? The percentage can be found by dividing the value by the total value and then multiplying the result by 100. The formula used to calculate the percentage is: (value/total value)×100%.
To solve percent problems, you can use the equation, Percent ⋅ Base = Amount , and solve for the unknown numbers. Or, you can set up the proportion, Percent = amount base , where the percent is a ratio of a number to 100. You can then use cross multiplication to solve the proportion.
24 is 40% of 60. For this question, we can convert it to an equation using fractions and variables, such as 24 = 40/100 * x, which can also be expressed as 24 = 40x/100.
Percent means per 100. Whenever we are asked to calculate x% of y, we divide x by 100 because it is x 'percent', and then multiply it by y. Another way of solving this could be: 60% of 24 = 50% of 24 + 10% of 24 = 12 + 2.4 = 14.4.
So any number divided by 4 = 25 percent of that number. For example, 20 divided by 4 = 5. So 5 would be 25% of 20. 25% means 25 out of 100 or 1/4 of something.
