FINDING PERCENTAGE ONE NUMBER OF ANOTHER NUMBER-
To express one quantity as a percentage of another quantity, you can use the formula:
Percentage = (Part / Whole) * 100
OR
One Quantity
Percentage = (------------------ X 100)%
Another Quantity
Where:
Let's work through an example:
Suppose you have a basket of 40 apples, and 12 of them are green apples. You want to express the number of green apples as a percentage of the total number of apples.
Ans.)
Part (Green apples) = 12
Whole (Total apples) = 40
Percentage = (12 / 40) * 100 = 0.3 * 100 = 30%
So, 30% of the apples in the basket are green apples.
