Detailed calculations and final verification of the result
A brief introduction:
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
25% = 25 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
25% = 25/100 = 25 ÷ 100

... is equivalent to multiplying them:
25% × 12 = ?
The calculation of the percentage:
25% of 12 =
25% × 12 =
25/100 × 12 =
(25 ÷ 100) × 12 =
25 × 12 ÷ 100 =
300 ÷ 100 =
3
The proof of the calculations
How do we check the result?
If 25% × 12 = 3 =>
Divide 3 by 12...

A quick note:
100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1
Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,
... and its value doesn't change.
n/100 = n%, for any number.
The calculation of the percentage value:
We will prove below that the calculations are correct.
3 ÷ 12 =
0.25 =
0.25 × 100/100 =

Percent. Percentages.
Percent
- Percent is one hundredth of a given amount, is an amount calculated with reference to a hundred, hundredth, 1 ÷ 100 = 1/100, ie. a fraction with numerator equal to 1 and denominator to one hundred.
- The word comes from the Latin "per Centum", meaning "by the hundred". The latin word "Centum" means "100", for example a century is 100 years. So, "percent" means "per 100".
- Percent means 1/100, two percent means 2/100, three percent means 3/100, and so on.
- Although a fraction, the percent occurs in writing without the denominator (100), but only with the numerator, followed by the sign %: 1 percent = 1%, two percent = 2%, three percent = 3%, and so on.
Percentage
- Percentage is the "result of multiplying a quantity by a certain percent".
- So 10 percent (10 ÷ 100 = 10/100 = 10%) out of 50 apples is 5 apples (10% of 50 = 10/100 × 50 = 500/100 = 5) - the 5 apples is the percentage.
When do we say percent and when percentage?
- The word percent (or the symbol %) accompanies a specific number: around 60 percent (60%) of the people voted for a change.
- The more general word percentage is used without a number: the percentage of the people that voted for a change was around 60 percent (60%);
- Correct: 60 percent (60%) of the people; Incorrect: 60 percentage of the people;
- Correct: a higher percentage of voters; Incorrect: a higher percent of voters;
- Note: In front of the word "percent" use the number, don't spell it out: "60 percent" is right, "sixty percent" is rather not. Always use figures for ages of people (He's 43 years old), dates (May 26), monetary amounts ($80,000), percentages (60 percent) and ratios (2-to-3).
Percentages converted to decimal numbers:
- 1 percent, 1%, means 1 per 100, 1% = 1/100 = 0.01.
- 50 percent, 50%, means 50 per 100, 50% = 50/100 = 1/2 (half) = 0.5.
- 1 percent of 70 is: 1% of 70 = 1/100 × 70 = 7/10 = 0.7
- 50 percent of 70 is: 50% of 70 = 50/100 × 70 = 1/2 × 70 = 35.

Detailed calculations and the verification of the result
A brief introduction. Percent, p%
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
25% = 25 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100
25% = 25/100 = 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1
What does it mean:

... is equivalent to multiplying them:
25% × number = 12
Number calculation, finding the missing unknown number
Percentage of 25% of what number = 12?
Let y be the number that we have to calculate.
25% × y = 12 =>
y =
12 ÷ 25% =
12 ÷ (25 ÷ 100) =
(100 × 12) ÷ 25 =
1,200 ÷ 25 =
48
25% of 48 = 12
Proof of the calculations
How do we check the result?
We carry out the reverse operation:
If 25% × 48 = 12 =>
Divide 12 by 48...
... And see if we get as a result: 25%
A quick note:
Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,
... and its value doesn't change.
100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1

Three examples of problems that can be solved out using the information in this section:
Problem 1:
- 25% of the annual profit of a company was invested in buying some new equipment. The total amount invested in buying the new equipment was 100,000 dollars. What was the annual profit of the company?
- Rewrite: 25% of the Profit means 100,000 dollars => 25% × Profit = 100,000 dollars => Profit = 100,000 ÷ 25% dollars = 100,000 ÷ 25/100 dollars = 100,000 × 100/25 dollars = 100,000 × 4 dollars = 400,000 dollars;
Problem 2:
- 20% of the students in the terminal year have enrolled into the swimming class. In total, 7 students have enrolled. How many students are in the terminal year?
- Rewrite: 20% of the students means 7 students => 20% × Total number of students = 7 => The total number of students = 7 ÷ 20% = 7 ÷ 20/100 = 7 × 100/20 = 7 × 5 = 35;
Problem 3:
- In the last elections 49% of community memebrs voted for the A Party, 32% for the B Party, and the rest for the C Party. 17,920 people voted for the B Party. How many members are in the community, all in all?
- Rewrite: 32% of the total community members means 17,920 people => 32% × The total number of community members = 17,920 => The total number of community members = 17,920 ÷ 32% people = 17,920 ÷ 32/100 people = 17,920 × 100/32 people = 17,920/32 × 100 = 560 × 100 people = 56,000 people.
