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.
To find the amount of change from one value to another use our percent change calculator.
Example: Find 75% of 60
y = value × percentage ÷ 100
y = 60 × 75 ÷ 100
y = 4500 ÷ 100
y = 45
y = value × percentage ÷ 100
y = 60 × 75 ÷ 100
y = 4500 ÷ 100
y = 45
