How to Find the Percentage of a Value

Percentage is the proportion of a part to the whole amount or the portion of a value and can be expressed as a fraction/decimal or as a whole number with a percent symbol. Solve the percentage, or portion of a value using the formula:

y = value × percentage ÷ 100

Simply put, multiply the value by the percentage and then divide by 100 to find the result.
