Percentage Formulas
Percentage of Number
Result = (Percentage ÷ 100) × Number
Example: 20% of 500 = (20÷100) × 500 = 100
Percentage Increase
% Increase = ((New - Original) ÷ Original) × 100
Example: 50 to 70 = ((70-50)÷50)×100 = 40%
Percentage Decrease
% Decrease = ((Original - New) ÷ Original) × 100
Example: 80 to 60 = ((80-60)÷80)×100 = 25%
Percentage of a Number
% = (Part ÷ Whole) × 100
Example: 30 is what % of 200? = (30÷200)×100 = 15%
Real-World Applications
Percentage Calculation Tips
- 💡Mental math shortcut: 10% of any number = move decimal one place left. 20% = double that. 50% = half.
- 💡Reverse percentage: To find original price after discount, divide sale price by (1 - discount%). Example: ₹800 at 20% off = 800 ÷ 0.8 = ₹1000.
- 💡Percentage difference: For comparing two values, use percentage change (increase/decrease). Not percentage points (1 percentage point = 1%).
