How to Find the Total Value Given a Portion and Percentage
Here’s how to solve an unknown total value when you know the percentage that the portion is of the total. Find an unknown value that a known value is a percentage of using the formula:
y = value ÷ (percentage ÷ 100)
Solve by dividing the known value by the percentage divided by 100 to get the unknown total value.
Example: 45 is 75% of what total value?
y = value ÷ (percentage ÷ 100)
y = 45 ÷ (75 ÷ 100)
y = 45 ÷ .75
y = 60
