What is a Percentage?

A percentage is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100. The word “percent” means “per hundred.”

For example:

  • 50% means 50 per 100 or 50/100
  • 25% means 25 per 100 or 25/100
  • 100% means 100 per 100 or the whole amount

Converting Between Forms

Percentages can be converted to fractions and decimals:

  1. To fraction: Write the percentage over 100 and simplify
  2. To decimal: Divide by 100 (move decimal two places left)
  3. From decimal: Multiply by 100 (move decimal two places right)

Real-world Applications

Percentages are used everywhere in daily life:

  • Discounts and sales
  • Calculating tips
  • Bank interest rates
  • Exam scores
  • Population growth

'; return; } const result = (percent / 100) * number; document.getElementById('percent-of-result').innerHTML = `

Calculation Result

${percent}% of ${number} = ${result}

How it's calculated:

  1. Convert percentage to decimal: ${percent}% = ${percent / 100}
  2. Multiply by the number: ${percent / 100} × ${number} = ${result}

Percentage Change Result

The change from ${original} to ${newAmount} is a ${Math.abs(percentChange).toFixed(2)}% ${changeType}.

How it's calculated:

  1. Find the difference: ${newAmount} - ${original} = ${change}
  2. Divide by original: ${change} ÷ ${original} = ${(change / original).toFixed(4)}
  3. Multiply by 100: ${(change / original).toFixed(4)} × 100 = ${percentChange.toFixed(2)}%

'; return; } const percentage = (part / whole) * 100; document.getElementById('find-percent-result').innerHTML = `

Percentage Found

${part} is ${percentage.toFixed(2)}% of ${whole}.

How it's calculated:

  1. Divide part by whole: ${part} ÷ ${whole} = ${(part / whole).toFixed(4)}
  2. Multiply by 100: ${(part / whole).toFixed(4)} × 100 = ${percentage.toFixed(2)}%

Real-world Percentage Examples

Discount Example

A $50 item is on sale for 20% off:

Discount: 20% of $50 = $10

Sale Price: $50 - $10 = $40

Tip Example

A $60 restaurant bill with 15% tip:

Tip: 15% of $60 = $9

Total: $60 + $9 = $69

Tax Example

A $30 purchase with 8% sales tax:

Tax: 8% of $30 = $2.40

Total: $30 + $2.40 = $32.40
